**Job summary**:
The Cities and Local Growth Unit, is a joint unit between the Department for Business and Trade (DBT) and the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC). Our mission is to empower places - from rural to major cities, from prosperous places to those facing challenges in the modern economy, to bolster their potential through boosting economic growth.

This role sits within the North West and Northern Powerhouse Team. We lead within the UK Government on local growth and levelling up initiatives, supporting a range of projects and programmes across towns centres and high streets, Local Enterprise Partnerships, Mayoral Combined Authorities and Local Authorities. We work at different levels, from the small neighbourhood to the large sub-national strategy including on policies such as devolution, delivering levelling up programmes and gathering economic intelligence. Our work emphasises external engagement and understanding real-world economies. This role presents a great opportunity to build confidence dealing with senior external figures and supporting Ministers and Senior Officials in their engagement with local partners.

Our teams are experts on their parts of the country. Government has a strong grasp of the facts and figures, but facts and figures don't explain a place. We understand local individuals and institutions. We know how places feel. We know their history. We can tell stories about them and work with them to deliver positive change.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who wants to work on developing place-based policy making and become an expert in the economic growth landscape of the Liverpool City Region.

Offer advice and challenge to these partners and local politicians to support the development of their plans and strategies.
- Building an expert understanding of the political and economic landscape of the Liverpool City Region and using this to brief ministers and inform central government policy on both opportunities and challenges.
- Cultivate and develop a network of contacts within Government - including within Department for Business and Trade, Department for Levelling Up and OGDs - to support your understanding of the wider policy landscape and to identify opportunities for greater collaboration.
- Lead on the monitoring and delivery of operational local growth programmes across your area, including the Levelling Up Fund, Towns Fund, Future High Streets Fund, UK Shared Prosperity Fund, Liverpool City Region Investment Zone and Freeport.
- Lead and directly line manage a small team (1 Senior Executive Officer and 2 Higher Executive Officers) with oversight across the Liverpool City Region. Be a supportive and considerate line manager focused on getting the best out of your direct reports. You will use your judgement and creativity to set the direction for your team, including identifying local economic priorities, resolving challenges, and convening key partners.
- Be an active member of the NW Senior Management Team, supporting the Grade 6 and Area Director to foster and support a positive team culture.

**Essential criteria**
- Demonstrate inclusive and collaborative leadership with a track record of delivering results at pace.
- Take ownership of strategic priorities to drive them forward often delivering with and through others to tackle complex and interdependent issues at pace.
- Establish and maintain positive relationships and networks and secure the confidence of partners and leaders within a short period of time.
- Analyse and clearly present a range of evidence and complex issues to different audiences.
- Demonstrate strong written and verbal communication skills to produce work to a high standard for a range of senior audiences often within short timescales.
