The role:

The Action Inquiry Manager leads strategic areas of work at Lankelly Chase, overseeing workstreams and acting as the Lankelly Chase lead in places where they are working in depth; in ways that further the organisation's mission.

This role will be managed by and will report to the Directors and will in turn manage relationships with consultants and contractors working in the field on behalf of Lankelly Chase. This person will lead on all strategy, learning and communications within their workstreams. The postholder will be part of other portfolio teams, and place-based teams in some cases and they will input into the operational running of Lankelly Chase as a whole.
