Partnership with our communities is central to the way we work, so that everyone can access opportunities, and nobody gets left behind. Here’s where you can help decide a better future for us all.

The role
As a Business and Enterprise Coordination Officer, you will work in a cross-council way to help businesses access the support services they need.

We want Camden businesses to overcome barriers to their success, and alleviate these challenges with support that has real impact on their day-to-day operations. In this role you will be at the forefront of delivering the change, acting as a key point of contact for business-related queries, resolving challenges and developing policy.

Workshops and engagement with our business networks will enable us to test the outcomes of this work.

The successful candidate will be abreast of legislation and policy issues that relate to developing an inclusive economy that works for all. You will be results focused, and comfortable tackling challenging circumstances faced by a range of Camden entrepreneurs and businesses with a diverse set of needs. You will need to have a practical understanding of the challenges faced by businesses and the ability to provide deliverable solutions.

You will be a clear and effective communicator, with the ability to lead discourses that bring our Business and Enterprise Support Framework to life.
