inclusive growth across the East Midlands. We are seeking a visionary

of Commercial and Investment, someone who thrives on structuring
complex deals, building new capability, and delivering tangible
outcomes that transform places and lives.

This is a rare opportunity to shape the commercial future of a combined
authority at the forefront of public investment. You will lead a new in-house
Commercial and Investment function, combining commercial and contracts,
procurement, and investment. Your commercial expertise will help mature
EMCCA’s investment pipeline, enable and structure complex programmes,

commercially manage regional partnerships and services.

You will take the lead on EMCCA’s most ambitious initiatives, from driving
innovative partnerships to shaping future initiatives like Midlands Mindforge.
As a corporate player, you will work across the organisation, collaborating
to create bold commercial solutions that deliver real regional impact.
