As Senior Responsible Owner for the 4 billion DRIVE35 programme, you will support the transition and growth of the UK automotive industry, while overseeing programmes including the 2.3 billion Aerospace Technology Institute programme, the 450 million Battery Innovation Programme and Made Smarter.You will lead delivery of the Advanced Manufacturing Sector Plan, translating its commitments into investment, innovation, productivity and high-quality employment. You will build relationships with major businesses, investors and trade bodies and help attract and retain strategically important international investment.You will influence wider government policy, including trade, procurement, finance, regulation, innovation, energy and skills, ensuring advanced manufacturing priorities are understood across government.This high-profile role requires strong commercial judgement, credibility with senior business leaders and the ability to deliver complex programmes under sustained scrutiny.Director, Industrial StrategyThe modern Industrial Strategy is a 10-year plan to increase investment in sectors with the greatest potential to drive UK growth, while supporting innovation, economic security, net zero and high-value clusters across the country.This is designed to help the UK respond to major economic and technological shifts, including the clean energy transition, the impact of AI, changing global markets and new geopolitical realities. It also supports the development of high-value sectors, industries and clusters across the UK, strengthening productivity, economic security and resilience.As Director, Industrial Strategy, you will lead the next phase of this signature economic policy as it moves firmly into delivery, driving implementation of the Strategy and its sector plans in line with Ministerial priorities.Working across the Cabinet Office, HM Treasury, No.10 and the wider Civil Service, you will align departments, navigate competing interests and drive delivery. You will also work with businesses, trade unions, academia and local leaders to address barriers to investment and growth.You will lead energy interventions to improve UK competitiveness, including the AI Growth Zones Energy Support Scheme, oversee sponsorship of the Industrial Strategy Advisory Council and chair the cross-government Industrial Strategy Programme Board.You will lead a multidisciplinary directorate of approximately 80 people, supported by five Senior Civil Servants. The role requires exceptional influencing skills, political awareness and strategic judgement.What we are looking forFor both appointments, we are seeking visible and empowering leaders who can set clear direction, lead through ambiguity and create inclusive, high-performing cultures.You will bring:A strong record of leading high-performing teams and delivering results in complex and ambiguous environments.Credibility with Ministers, senior business leaders and other influential stakeholders.Excellent influencing and interpersonal skills, with the ability to build collaboration and offer constructive challenge.Experience of working across organisational boundaries or complex systems, using influence rather than direct authority to secure tangible outcomes.Experience of developing policy or strategy with government, business, academia or other stakeholders.The ability to turn innovative ideas into sustainable improvements and align people, processes and technology behind complex programmes.Sound judgement, resilience and effectiveness under sustained scrutiny. xrnqpay Location and working arrangementsThe roles may be based in London, Belfast, Birmingham, Cardiff, Darlington, Edinburgh or Salford, with Manchester becoming an option in 2027.
