Please see attached Recruitment Pack for full job description and person spec. We have worked in Birmingham for six years and the need and urgency for our work is greater than ever, with live grassroots campaigns across the city mobilising people to come together to save libraries, youth services and social housing. We know that a shared root cause of all of these crises is the city's economic system, and that meaningful change requires bringing people together across different perspectives and positions to build a shared understanding of how that system works and where the opportunities for change lie. This role leads our work across Birmingham at an exciting moment. We are developing a participatory, community-centred approach to analysing the city's economy, identifying opportunities for change and coordinating alliances to act on them.

Programme Delivery Working closely with the Programme Team, coordinate the delivery of People s Economy s programme of work in Birmingham and ensure it is well embedded, integrated and supportive in the local economic justice landscape. Play a leading role in our collaborative work with Economic Justice Brum ensuring consistent coordination, support and relational working. Lead on organising the logistics and resources required to effectively deliver People s Economy s programme of work in Birmingham.
