About The Role

This is an exciting opportunity to help shape how Hounslow tells its story to investors, businesses, developers and partners.

As Investment Opportunities Manager, you will play a key role in promoting Hounslow as a global gateway, a place of growth and a major investment destination. You will help develop and deliver the borough’s new place brand, support the launch and ongoing development of our investment website and digital platforms, and create engaging content that brings Hounslow’s opportunities to life.

The role is ideal for someone who combines strong economic development, investment or place-marketing experience with a real flair for digital communications. You will work across websites, data insights, CRM, social media, campaigns, events and stakeholder engagement to help position Hounslow as one of London’s most compelling places to live, work, visit and invest.

You will support the development of tailored investment propositions, contribute to market intelligence and economic analysis, and help identify the sectors, sites and stories that make Hounslow stand out. You will also help coordinate the Council’s presence at major investment events such as MIPIM and UKREiiF, making sure our digital, event and partner activity is joined up and impactful.

Working closely with colleagues in communications, regeneration, economic development and external partners, you will help ensure our content is current, accessible, engaging and commercially focused. This includes supporting the new Destination Hounslow place brand, maintaining digital content, monitoring performance, and finding new ways to reach investors, businesses and decision-makers.

We are looking for someone creative, proactive and commercially minded: someone who can turn data, development opportunities and regeneration priorities into clear, compelling messages. You will be confident building relationships, managing projects, supporting campaigns, and using digital tools to raise Hounslow’s profile.

This is a role for someone who wants to do more than maintain a website or produce content. It is a chance to help build a modern investment offer for one of London’s most diverse, connected and opportunity-rich boroughs.

About The Team You’ll Be Working In

You’ll be joining Hounslow’s Regeneration and Economic Growth service at an exciting moment, as we build a more proactive and visible investment function for the borough. We work to promote Hounslow as one of London’s most connected and opportunity-rich places.

We are an ambitious and outward-facing team with a big brief: implementing a new place brand, strengthening our digital presence, creating investment propositions, supporting major events and building stronger relationships with businesses, investors, developers and partners.

This is a team where digital marketing skills can make a real impact. You’ll help us bring Hounslow’s story to life through engaging website content, digital campaigns, data-led insights, CRM, social media, events and stakeholder communications.

Working closely with colleagues across the Council and with external partners, you’ll help shape how we reach audiences, promote opportunities and raise Hounslow’s profile. For someone creative, collaborative and commercially minded, this is a chance to help build a modern place-marketing and inward investment offer from the ground up.

About You

You’ll be a creative, proactive and commercially minded person who can spot a good story and turn it into content that gets noticed. You may come from a digital marketing, communications, inward investment, economic development, regeneration or place-marketing background, but what matters most is your ability to bring together data, people, places and opportunities into clear, compelling messages. You’ll be confident working across websites, social media, CRM, events, campaigns and stakeholder communications, with a good eye for audience, content quality and impact.

You’ll enjoy building relationships and working across teams, whether that’s with communications colleagues, regeneration specialists, businesses, developers, investors or external partners. You’ll be organised, curious and comfortable managing projects, using insight to shape activity, and finding new ways to raise Hounslow’s profile. The role calls for someone who can support investment propositions, analyse opportunities, champion Hounslow externally and help maintain engaging, accessible digital content across platforms.

Most importantly, you’ll be excited by the chance to help build something new. You’ll bring energy, ideas and confidence to a small, ambitious team, and you’ll be motivated by the opportunity to promote one of London’s most diverse, connected and opportunity-rich boroughs.

If the points below resonate with you, we’d love you to put in an application:

• You are excited by the power of digital marketing to shape how a place is seen by businesses, investors and partners.

• You can turn data, regeneration priorities and local success stories into clear, engaging content for websites, social media, campaigns and events.

• You are interested in place branding, inward investment, business growth and promoting Hounslow as one of London’s most connected and opportunity-rich boroughs.
