Programme Director, Health
The CBI is Britain's voice of business. We have recently launched our 'Seize the Moment' strategy which sets out an ambitious programme of work through which we will shape the future economy, inspire and enable members to thrive, speak for all business, deliver successful ventures and develop a more dynamic CBI.
The strategy identifies six business–led opportunities – prizes – that the UK could capture by 2030, which are worth around GBP700 billion for the UK:
1. A decarbonised economy, winning the global race to net–zero
2. An innovation economy, breakthrough ideas and technologies, adopted by all
3. A globalised economy, making the UK a trading powerhouse
4. A regionally thriving economy, ensuring every region and nation has distinctive, global strengths
5. An inclusive economy, where work enables all talent to progress
6. A healthier nation, with health the foundation of wellbeing and economic growth.
It is an exciting time to join the CBI. Do you want to be part of a once–in–a–generation opportunity to reset the UK economy?
The newly created role of Programme Director, Health will be accountable for the delivery of our economic goal to attain a healthier economy by 2030 by supporting the health of the nation and improved business performance. They will be responsible for the overall design and delivery of the programme ensuring the activation, engagement and influence of both business and government in pursuit of this goal, developing the subject matter expertise the CBI needs to have impact. The programme will build the UK's position as a global hub for clinical trials, life science innovation and data–driven healthcare, with a renewed focus on our life science sector including fast growing opportunities in areas like biotech as well as across the supply chains of healthcare and wellness sectors. The programme will also focus on workplace health interventions and the essential tools needed to improve business performance, societal health and economic prosperity. The Programme Director will identify and work with external partners and internal stakeholders to ensure the health programme is successfully integrated into the broader CBI approach.
