- Build and coordinate a strong regional network of corporate finance advisors to improve deal readiness and sector alignment.
- Boost regional visibility by showcasing investment wins, producing insight reports, and representing the West Midlands at major events.
- Manage investment pipeline data, track deal flow, and report performance.
- Lead partnerships with WMCA, universities, Catapults, Innovate UK and others to shape programmes and policy on access to finance.
- Manage delivery partners, setting clear objectives and budgets.
