Description of the goods or services required

An exciting opportunity exists for a suitably qualified, highly networked and skilled individual to work with Monmouthshire County Council to help further shape, inform and enable delivery of our new Business Growth and Enterprise Strategy. For us, Enterprise is both an internal and external function. In the outward sense, there is a clear focus on economic productivity and competitiveness and how we galvanise our business sector to increase economic resilience and growth. Inwardly, we are also committed to continuing efforts to build an enterprising mind set and culture. The factor common to both inward and outward approaches to enterprise, is the ability to develop solutions to problems.
