Business Relationship
Manager, Yorkshire Coast.
Contract :3 year fixed term
initially
Salary: £34,788 - £35,510
The York and North Yorkshire Local Enterprise Partnership
(LEP) are looking for an experienced Business Relationship Manager within the
Growth Hub to engage with, and support, small to medium enterprises in the
Scarborough Borough area.
The York and North Yorkshire Growth Hub is one of 38 such
government hubs across England which deliver tangible business support within
each region of the country. They provide face-to-face professional advice to
businesses, and signpost them to the best resources from both the public and
private sector within the area.
Job role
Working specifically within the Scarborough Borough Council
boundaries, as part of the York and North Yorkshire Growth Hub, and reporting
to the Growth Hub Manager, you will be one of 5 Relationship Managers working
across the region. You will develop and utilise your network to help to
identify, engage and support businesses across the district.
While the team are close-knit and supportive, and team
working is important, both within the Growth Hub, and across the wider LEP, this
post is one which requires a great deal of self-management. You will work from home initially, but move
to working within Scarborough Borough Council’s offices once it is safe to do
so. You will also be required to travel to the Growth Hub’s office in York and
Northallerton on a regular basis when travel restrictions are lifted.
An in depth knowledge of the issues faced by small to medium
enterprises of all sectors is vital, as is a specialist knowledge of the tourism
and visitor economy of the Yorkshire Coast.
A desire to engage with, and help these businesses will be a
part of your nature, as will networking and talking to a wide variety of people
from business, local authorities, and social enterprises. We encourage
applications from as wide a cross section of our community as possible, and a
commitment to help with the delivery of the LEP’s strategy for growth, which
emphasises a “Greener, Fairer and Stronger” economy is also important.
This is a varied and challenging role within a small and
motivated team. Working as part of a larger national group and with direct
links to central government, you will gain the satisfaction of knowing that you
are making a genuine difference to businesses across the district. Working as part of the LEP you will benefit
from training and professional development, and a host of other employment
benefits via North Yorkshire County Council’s benefits and pension packages.
Job requirements
We are looking for someone who has:
• knowledge of the Local Enterprise Partnership
and the Growth Hub’s role in the region
• knowledge of the wider market of public and
private sector business support services
• knowledge of the economy on the Yorkshire Coast
and the challenges faced by small to medium enterprises
• experience of account management
• experience of business development/sales
• experience of coaching or mentoring
• financial and budget management skills
• the ability to create and manage varied work
streams and projects to drive activity
• a business support qualification e.g. SFEDI would
be ideal, or the willingness to work towards similar.
