Project Support Officer

Permanent – Closing date: Sunday 7th June at Midnight

Your role

This role will provide business support to GMCA’s Investment Team by delivering timely and accurate administrative support to team members, programmes and projects. The primary focus will be on GMCA’s Good Growth Fund, with opportunities to contribute to various other projects across the team.

The GMCA has recently announced a £1bn+ Good Growth Fund aimed at ensuring economic expansion benefits all people and places. Our team is working towards unlocking over 3,000 units by April 2029 – building on the 22,000 delivered since April 2020 – through bespoke funding approaches encompassing grant, loan and equity funding.

To successfully deliver this programme, the role holder must be competent with numbers, confident in Microsoft Excel, possess strong written communication skills, and be an effective communicator. Given the fast‑paced nature of the programmes, key skills include prioritisation, organisation, accurate data entry and diligent record‑keeping.

About you

The ideal candidate will have experience in data entry and proficiency with Microsoft Excel, along with a keen eye for detail. Strong analytical reasoning skills are required to form conclusions and to convey key, complex information and recommendations to staff at all levels.

Additionally, you should be self‑motivated, able to operate independently, and demonstrate the ability to prioritise a diverse range of tasks with enthusiasm, a passion for data handling, and a commitment to the outcomes the fund delivers.

Initial conversations are welcomed
