In this role, you will join part of the Bank’s new place‑based (Local Growth) team, within a defined region/Devolved Nation. Working locally and in close partnership with the Area Regional/Devolved Director, the position involves supporting the development of a tailored local strategy and delivering meaningful outcomes by engaging with the local market and drawing on the Bank’s place‑based toolkit, investment teams, central resources, and personal commercial experience.

This includes identifying, catalysing, and facilitating commercial opportunities such as connecting finance providers with clusters of high‑potential businesses to drive measurable growth in local financing and business activity.

A core element of the role is to foster a local financing ecosystem that enables innovative, high‑potential businesses to access the right finance, regardless of location or stage of development. The position also leverages the Bank’s expertise in small business access to finance, alongside its networks of finance providers and investors.

Credibility must be established quickly with a wide range of internal and external stakeholders, from investment professionals to local leaders and politicians, to facilitate the proposal, negotiation and implementation of activities and change within the region.

You will have an existing and active network within the SME support and/or economic development ecosystem in region / Devolved Nation and also have knowledge and experience of the SME access to finance eco‑system.

You will bring commercial experience in accessing and/or delivering equity or debt instruments, with a strong technical and strategic understanding of how investment decisions are made and how capital flows into local markets. This may have been gained within a finance provider, or as a founder or business operator. You will also have a proven ability to act as a strategic partner to external stakeholders, influencing decision‑makers at both operational and strategic levels.

Good analytical capability is essential, including confidence in working with quantitative and qualitative data to produce compelling, insightful materials that inform strategy, support stakeholder engagement, and contribute to the delivery of measurable and impactful outcomes.
