Creative England was founded on the belief that talent is everywhere but opportunity is not. We support and invest in digital creative companies to finance business growth via direct investment, loans and business mentoring; we champion the best ideas of talented people and their businesses.
Creative England has partnered with Plymouth City Council to support the successful delivery of iMayflower: a £6m collaborative programme designed to build Plymouth’s Creative Industries, grow and develop its creative cluster and support the region as a centre of excellence for immersive experiential content. Based with our partners in Plymouth this role will be crucial to the successful delivery and stakeholder management needs of this new partnership.
You will deliver a targeted programme of activity focusing on developing Access to Finance, investment readiness, mentoring, business support, product development and knowledge exchange. Our key aim is to develop 2 cohorts of 8-10 companies that have potential to grow and raise external finance. This will include hands-on events and support activity working with the wider remote teams across Creative England to raise the national profile of Plymouths creative sector. You will be responsible for the successful delivery of the project objectives and KPI’s.
This is an exciting opportunity for someone who is self-sufficient, adaptable, a strong organiser, problem solver and readiness to just roll up your sleeves and get stuck in. You'll be passionate about the creative sector, a confident communicator, representing and championing Creative England in all aspects of the project.
