Who are we?

The West Midlands Growth Company (WMGC) is the region’s economic development delivery organisation.

From April 2026, we will lead the delivery of regionally commissioned economic development activity aligned to the West Midlands Growth Plan, working in partnership with the West Midlands Combined Authority and local authorities.

We are building a sharper, business-focused organisation that attracts investment, supports high-growth companies and drives measurable economic impact.

If you want your work to shape how growth is delivered across one of the UK’s most important regions, this is your opportunity.

The Role

As our new Place Specialist, you’ll join a forward thinking, collaborative team that values fresh ideas and innovation. This is a genuine opportunity to take ownership of meaningful projects, influence decision making, and help shape the future direction of the business.

You’ll be involved in:

Facilitate direct engagement with LA service teams, ensuring investor requirements receive a proactive and coherent response.

Build and maintain relationships with key local stakeholders such as developers, commercial agents, and property partners to ensure the local offer is credible and current.

Coordinate contractual, place specific investment promotion activity, leveraging specific investment promotion activity, leveraging regional WMGC resources to fulfil commitments.

Act as a knowledge hub across a cohort of Place Specialists, contributing local insights to regional strategy and providing cross territory operational cover.

Support Strategic Account Management (SAM) collaboration, ensuring LA interactions with key companies are aligned and effectively delivered.

What You’ll Bring

Essential:

Proven investment or project delivery experience, demonstrating a delivery experience, demonstrating a hands-on, results on, results driven mindset.

Strong stakeholder brokerage capability, with the ability to influence and collaborate with LA operational leads, developers, and commercial agents.

Demonstrated ability to take ownership of complex projects, navigating statutory functions and leading them to completion.

Collaborative working style, contributing to a regional team and providing operational cover across territories when required.

Desirable:

Background in economic development, place-based growth, or business-based growth, or business support programmes within a multiagency environment
