Help make Merton a place where businesses, high streets and communities thrive.

You will lead the delivery of Merton’s Growth Plan, turning our ambitions for inclusive growth into jobs, investment and opportunities that residents can see and feel. You’ll shape our approach to economic development, inward investment and thriving town centres, building strong relationships with businesses, investors, BIDs, the GLA, government and other partners to bring new ideas and funding into the borough.

With major investment and regeneration underway across Merton, this is an opportunity to put economic growth at the heart of how our town centres and communities develop – and make sure local people and businesses benefit from it.
