Job summary

The role is a high profile and exciting opportunity to work in an area of both growing strategic importance and one which is responsible for significant direct delivery. There is a considerable opportunity to directly influence and deliver change across government, in partnership with Local Government and with a wide range of stakeholders. The circular economy is a devolved area of policy, with a significant role in the joint development and delivery of UK-wide action, which includes issues at the cutting edge of post EU-exit arrangements including the challenges associated with the UK Internal Market Act.

Building on Wales successful track record in this area, the post-holder will take over leadership at a critical time with the new Governments commitments in relation to embedding cross-government action on climate and nature. With the circular economy covering around half of total emissions and 90 per cent of global biodiversity loss associated with the extraction and consumption of materials, the circular economy has a fundamental role in its delivery. The area is also growing significantly in importance, both within Wales, the UK and internationally. This is not just about the environmental importance of action keeping materials in use reduces supply chain vulnerabilities and matters to national security there is also a significant economic opportunity, and one which will be grounded in local communities. This is particularly true for Wales, which is already recognised globally as an exemplar.

The post-holder has the responsibility not just for driving and coordinating the development and delivery of the Welsh Governments circular economy action (and associated governance), but acts as the Welsh Senior Responsible Officer for the joint Extended Producer Responsibility scheme for packaging and the development of future proposals to deliver on the Welsh Governments manifesto commitment to the polluter pays principle. This includes work to drive innovation and maximise the economic benefits to Wales, support a just transition and drive action to support vulnerable communities in a cost-of-living crisis.

They will have to provide direct leadership to a team which is in the process of expanding to around 40 people, alongside indirect leadership to colleagues within and stakeholders outside of Welsh Government, including UK Government.
