We are seeking a dedicated professional to oversee the Economic Strategy Team and its work. As part of the Employment, Skills and Economy leadership team, you'll bring your expertise and passion to lead the development of strategic plans, initiatives, and policies for the Economy Skills and Culture Service and the wider City Futures Directorate. This high-performing team delivers a range of functions including policy support and development; strategy development; project development and management; data modelling and analysis. The team works closely with and supports Elected Members, city partners, and is often tasked with delivering key political priorities. You will support further development of policy and projects that deliver economic growth, improve social and economic inclusion, and support cohesion of the activities of the directorate. You will support delivery teams to design, pilot, and deliver programmes, as well as monitor outcomes and performance. The team also plays an important role in supporting senior leaders and Councillors. This position calls for a leader and specialist in the field who can inspire, engage, and influence internal and external partners. You will be adept at developing integrated ways of working, ensuring value for money, and quickly building connections with people. Your ability to listen to others and build solutions accordingly, combined with your strategic, tactical, and emotional intelligence, will ensure you are a collaborative and encouraging leader who can strengthen connectivity across the council and develop relationships with Councillors, senior leaders, national agencies, stakeholders, and businesses. Are you ready to join a leadership team that is dedicated to delivering Sheffield's key ambitions? If you are, we want to hear from you. We value equality, diversity, and inclusion and are focused on increasing the diversity of our workforce, particularly the number of Black, Asian, Minority Ethnic, Disabled, and LGBTQ+ people, so that our teams reflect the communities in the city we serve. We are also supporting staff with unpaid caring responsibilities to work flexibly. It is a great time to join us, and we welcome your application. Under the Disability Confident Scheme, disabled applicants who meet the essential criteria of this job are guaranteed an interview. Full-time employees work 37 hours for 52 weeks of the year, and we offer a generous holiday entitlement. We are open to discussions about a wide range of flexible working opportunities which benefit you and the Council, including reduced hour contracts, working part-time, or as a job share. This is a politically restricted post.
