Summary
Project Delivery. You will run a bespoke service to trouble-shoot operational blockers for top-tier investments, including on grid connections and planning/permitting. You will facilitate rapid engagement between investors and Ministers, regulators, agencies, and other delivery partners who can identify solutions, ensure that HMG policy is being implemented effectively on the ground, and use all their levers to prevent processes from causing unnecessary delays. You will work closely with other government departments, including DESNZ, DLUHC, and DfE.
Policy Influencing. You will champion an investor-centric approach to policy development across Whitehall, applying investor insights constructively and critically. In particular, you will help to drive forward ongoing programmes of work to reform processes around grid connections and planning, ensuring that the requirements of the highest-impact investment projects are effectively prioritised.
Investment Strategy: You will provide expert, commercially astute advice to No10, DESNZ, and HMT on how to unlock investment to operationalise the Government’s strategies. You will engage industry, investors, academics, and policy experts in other departments to understand market demand, failures, barriers, and opportunities across critical supply chains, applying an investor-focused lens to spot gaps and, where needed, challenge the direction of HMG’s approach.
Investor Relations. You will nurture and manage relationships with senior decision-makers in the world’s leading companies. You will provide trusted advice, make introductions to No10 and Ministers, and help them navigate the complexities of the UK system. You will also set direction within HMG, providing leadership to teams brought together from relevant departments and delivery partners to unblock barriers.
