Job description

We're looking for a highly organised and motivated Programmes Executive - Capital Investment to join the West Midlands Growth Company (WMGC) and support the delivery of high-profile investment and regeneration programmes across the region.

If you're interested in economic development, investment, regeneration, and working with key public and private sector stakeholders to drive regional growth, this could be an excellent opportunity to develop your career within a fast-paced and purpose-driven organisation.

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 Programmes Executive - Real Estate, you'll join a small, high-performing team working at the intersection of the public and private sectors, helping to shape the future growth and regeneration of the West Midlands.
