**Job Description
Green Economy Lead**
24 Months Fixed Term
£57,381 - £69,669 per annum

**The Role**

The role is part of Newham Council’s commitment to driving a green transition across the borough, enabling a sustainable and resilient future for residents and communities through supporting economic development in a changing economy, and addressing the urgent challenge of climate change. Newham is a rapidly growing borough with a diverse and vibrant population and we understand the need to take bold steps working with Members, officers, businesses and residents to lead by example, help build knowledge and capacity, create the right economies and jobs for our communities and to address the urgent challenges posed by climate change.

A thriving green economy will be central to achieving our goals of creating better jobs for residents, reducing emissions and building a more equitable and prosperous future.

Newham Council has set ambitious targets to become a net zero-carbon council by 2030 and as a borough by 2045, and the Green Economy Lead will play a crucial role in helping to achieve these goals. As well as developing internal governance, processes and protocols to ensure the Council is meeting its net zero aspirations, this role will involve working closely and collaboratively with businesses and other stakeholders in the local community to develop and implement a programme to promote sustainable business practices, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and create new economic opportunities in emerging green sectors. The programmes of work led by this role will enable the long-term system and cultural change within LBN and across the borough necessary for a meaningful transition towards a green economy.

This 24 month position is funded by Innovate UK’s Fast Followers Programme [1] as part of LBN’s Green Economy Transition programme to be developed collaboratively with the University of East London (UEL). The Green Economy Lead will work alongside UEL’s Sustainability Research Institute, who will be leading a participatory research programme using mixed methods in behavioural psychology, to understand the non-technical barriers preventing Newham’s businesses and residents from adopting sustainable practices, and then to collectively build and deliver a transition plan. The Green Economy Lead will help to shape the research and engagement programmes, and will develop appropriate policies, strategies and projects with and for diverse businesses and communities across Newham to respond to research findings and accelerate the growth of the green economy in Newham.

**Overall Purpose of Job**
- To lead on the development and implementation of a Green Economy Transition programme which will inform and accelerate the Council’s Climate Action Plan and help support and champion Newham’s potential for transforming sustainable practices among the borough’s existing business community, as well as identifying and enabling new growth potential in emerging sectors as part of the green economy.
- To act as Newham’s lead on all policy, projects and matters relating to the Green Economy, working closely with Community Wealth Building, Planning, Property and Procurement teams to provide insight, inform strategy and work collaboratively.

**Job Context**
- The post holder reports to the Director of Climate Action, working closely with other departments, particularly Community Wealth Building and linking into the wider economic strategy.
- The post holder will have line management responsibility for a team of up to 5 Officers.
- The post holder will be responsible for overseeing the contract management and delivery of consultants and works contractors in connection with the Green Economy Transition programme, as well as the relationship with the University of East London as a key research partner in the programme.
- The post holder will support the creation of the right conditions for businesses in Newham to adopt more sustainable practices and for the growth of emerging sectors as part of the green economy.
- The post holder will develop appropriate internal governance and working groups to support the GE programme. This is likely to include: core project team involving LBN officers and UEL staff, a Delivery Board, with Senior Directors and Cabinet Members; an external steering group, including strategic partners and stakeholders.
- The Officer will ensure GE governance is aligned with the Council’s wider Net Zero action, and will attend the LBN Climate Emergency Taskforce as required, as well as monthly portfolio meetings with the Cabinet Member for Inclusive Economy and Climate Emergency, to enable input to programme direction alongside more formal Cabinet and CMT reporting.
- The post holder will own and oversee the stakeholder Communications and Engagement Plan.
- The post holder may be required to work evenings, weekends and occasional public holidays, in order to meet service requirements.
