The Team
The Enterprise Campaign comprises a team of eight BITC staff, together with volunteers from
our business partners in some key roles.
The Enterprise Campaign is intricate, complicated and extremely fast-moving with many
interdependencies and connections between our various activities, targets and partnerships.
We have over 30 formal partnerships with organisations in the private, public, voluntary and
social enterprise sectors (including five Business Partners), with an additional network of 50
organisations attached to arc.
We expect to develop further partnerships nationally including community, business and
government. The successful maintenance of these partnerships within a constantly changing
environment will be critical to campaign’s success.
The candidate will need to be flexible, hands-on and able to deal with this complexity, and to
take on new accountabilities and responsibilities as the project continues to grow.
