The Role
The purpose of these roles is to take the lead in developing policy proposals, driving strategic thinking, and managing government relationships in two of our four strategic priorities:
1) Driving Sustainable Growth: Provide Policy and Strategy cover for our wholesale finance and guarantee programmes and lead strategy development on improving access to debt finance across the UK.
2) Backing Innovation: Provide Policy and Strategy cover for our investment programmes and lead strategy development on increasing equity and private debt finance into growth-oriented and innovative UK SMEs.
Please note that there are 2 contract vacancies to cover each one of these areas.
Working with teams across the Bank, government, and external stakeholders, you will draw upon the Bank’s expertise and understanding of finance markets, to play a leading role in shaping the government’s policy on SME access to finance.
This role includes gathering evidence, analysing problems and making actionable recommendations as well as leading on the communication and negotiation of your relevant areas with government.
You should be able to effectively leverage the Bank’s expertise and bring solutions that government and the Bank can take forward, whilst considering the bigger picture, such as the Bank’s overall mission and objectives, its current interventions and any potential gaps and opportunities.
You will also support the briefing of seniors and ensure that the Bank’s messaging is consistent and well presented to key stakeholders.
To be considered for this role you must:
– have demonstrable experience in tackling complex problems and producing clear, evidence-based recommendations
– have an exceptional standard of written and verbal communication, be confident in presentation style with little need for editing of written work.
– be able to form partnerships, influence and build consensus with a range of stakeholders.
An understanding of how government operates would be desirable, as well as some knowledge of how UK SME finance markets function and the types of problems government policy is aiming to address in this area. Experience and aptitude in leading and managing others would also be desirable.
