We have an exciting new opportunity for an enthusiastic and motivated individual to help us drive forward the growth and development of the Gainsborough Market in the newly developed and regenerated town centre.
As the Markets Development Officer, you will provide a vital link in building positive relationships between stakeholders in the town centre including market traders (new and old), local businesses, developers, community groups, town and district councils.

You will require strong people skills, with the ability to motivate and influence others to achieve successful and sustainable outcomes to ensure the town centres thrive.

As a part of the Commercial Services Team, you will work alongside the Cultural Team to support and develop the events within the town centre for businesses and the community.
