Role Purpose

techUK's Nations and Regions Programme is aimed at engaging the public and private sector to support our nations and regions reinvent and recover in the aftermath of COVID-19. We believe that it is essential that we plan for a levelled-up recovery and that digital technology plays a vital role in enabling that.

techUK has already published a series of reports known as “Building the future we need” based on Digital Dialogues that we held with Nations and Regions across the UK which explored the digital strengths and weaknesses of those areas.

This role will be at the forefront of how techUK leverages our existing programme offering to support and increase the local digital capital (from skills to infrastructure) of our nations and regions.

You will be leading techUK’s work to increase our presence in the UK’s nations and regions, building communities and expanding our membership. You will work closely with our policy team – ensuring that our national policy proposition is based on a proper understanding of local experiences – and our wider market programme teams as you identify where techUK can help to deliver better local outcomes for People, Society, Economy and Planet.

We are looking for a self-motivated individual with strong community building capabilities and experiences. You will be the focal point for our Nations and Regions work, engaging with senior stakeholders in our membership and key stakeholders in our nations and regions. You will report into the Director for Markets.
