Economic Growth Manager

North Norfolk is a distinctive and ambitious place: a nationally recognised coastal and rural district with thriving towns, enterprising communities, outstanding natural assets and significant opportunities for sustainable economic growth. We are looking for an experienced, creative and collaborative Economic Growth Manager to help shape and deliver the next phase of our work with businesses, partners, communities and investors.

This is an exciting opportunity to lead a small, committed team at the heart of the Council's Sustainable Growth agenda. You will play a key role in developing strategies, securing and managing external funding, supporting local businesses, enabling regeneration projects and building the partnerships needed to deliver inclusive, resilient and climate-conscious growth across the district.

As Economic Growth Manager, you will lead the delivery of economic development, business support, inward investment and regeneration activity. You will work across Council services and with external partners to turn ideas into practical projects, helping local businesses to grow, attracting investment and ensuring that economic opportunities are aligned with the Council's wider priorities for communities, infrastructure, climate and place.

You will manage programmes, budgets, funding schemes and project delivery, while providing visible leadership to staff and partners. The role requires someone who can combine strategic thinking with practical delivery, political awareness with partnership working, and innovation with sound governance.
