Job Description
Do you have a passion to drive forward innovative projects and initiatives? Are you forward-thinking, pro-active, organised, and methodical with the ability to work in a partnership-focused environment? If yes, then we have an exciting opportunity that may interest you.
A central part of the role will be to ensure the service’s main partnerships remain strong and productive. The Economy Projects Officer will lead on key economy projects as well as provide support to deliver a range of other projects across the team, each ensuring Oxford’s business community is supported, informed, and engaged, and the city’s economy is developed, delivering the priorities of Oxford’s Economic Strategy.
As part of this, you will support the team to deliver projects to improve the city economy. In turn, the post-holder will help to enhance the support offered to business with partners, enhance take-up of that support, and ensure that effective lines of two-way communication are in place to understand local business needs. This is a key role to ensure excellent customer service and support our work by enabling a fairer, more inclusive economy.
Oxford has a vision to develop as a globally recognised innovation cluster, as part of a diverse, productive, sustainable, and inclusive economy. Yet, aligned to that vision, there is also a need for more accessible employment and entrepreneurial opportunities for the whole community.
Leading on key projects and supporting the wider Economic Development team to deliver initiatives such as the Oxford Living Wage, Community Employment & Procurement Planning, and Business support and engagement among others, contributing to the long-term inclusive economy initiatives. With our partners across the city, the City Council is working to create a thriving community, supported by improved infrastructure, business premises, and the right skills to help people and businesses to succeed.
