Regional Strategic Development Planning Manager
As Regional Strategic Development Planning Manager, you will provide strategic leadership for the preparation and delivery of the Strategic Development Plan, ensuring it supports the region’s economic vision and aligns with wider transport, investment and economic strategies. You will manage the SDP Delivery Agreement programme, coordinate the regional evidence base, commission and oversee specialist support, and provide expert planning advice to Ambition North Wales and its partners.
You will lead a small, high-performing team and work closely with Welsh Government, local authorities, elected Members, neighbouring regions and other regional and national stakeholders. The role requires a confident communicator who can build trusted partnerships, influence decision-makers and guide complex programmes through effective governance, consultation and delivery.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
