Help to Grow: Management (HtGM) is a high-profile flagship programme announced at Budget 2021. The programme provides world class leadership and management training to support senior business leaders improve their productivity and drive their growth. The programme combines a practical curriculum, with 1:1 support from a business mentor and access to an alumni network. It is delivered by leading UK Business Schools through a grant to our delivery partner, the Chartered Association of Business Schools (CABS).
HtGM is a DBT priority programme with significant interest from Ministers, HMT and external stakeholders. The role offers a great opportunity to influence the direction of the programme, gain visibility with senior leaders and have a real impact on small business. You will be working closely with the Programme Lead to support the future direction and design of the programme ahead of the Spending Review, leading on cross cutting briefing for Ministers and collaborating with stakeholders and delivery partners.

You will lead on oversight of key delivery arrangements with our partners, maintaining high-quality delivery of the programme and driving programme level improvements. You will also support where needed, wider programme governance, analysis and PMO work. This will include demonstrating to Ministers the success and value of the programme through robust policy analysis and programme review. You will need to be flexible and adaptable, ready to pick up ad hoc projects and pre/post-election support work.
