Be the Driving Force Behind Esher’s Future
The newly established&nbsp;Esher Business Improvement District (BID)&nbsp;is seeking a new BID manager&nbsp;to launch and lead this exciting new initiative.
Backed by local businesses and set to deliver&nbsp;over £700,000 of investment&nbsp;into Esher over the next five years, the BID will play a pivotal role in shaping the town’s future — and we’re looking for someone who’s ready to make a real impact.
About the Role
This is a&nbsp;hands-on, delivery-focused&nbsp;position — perfect for someone with an entrepreneurial mindset, a passion for our high streets, and a track record of turning ideas into action. You’ll be public face of the BID, develop high-profile events and marketing campaigns, and work closely with local businesses to ensure Esher continues to thrive.
You can find out more about the Esher Bid on the Esher BID website (<a href="https://esherbid.co.uk" target="_blank">https://esherbid.co.uk</a>)
What You’ll Bring

<ul>
<li>A confident communicator with strong commercial acumen</li>
<li>Experienced in working across both private and public sectors</li>
<li>Full of ideas, energy, and drive to deliver meaningful change</li>
<li>Comfortable leading projects and building strong local partnerships</li>
</ul>
You’ll be supported by a&nbsp;dedicated BID Board&nbsp;made up of local business leaders who are passionate about Esher’s success.
Why This Role Stands Out
<ul>
<li>Shape a new legacy: Be the first to lead this brand-new BID and leave your mark on the town centre.</li>
<li>Make a visible difference: From events to infrastructure, your work will be seen and felt across the businesses and community.</li>
<li>Collaborate with passionate people: Work alongside a supportive board and a network of engaged local businesses.</li>

The successful candidate will work widely with different departments across the Council and will be a key player in strategic projects.
Winchester is a former capital of England, the cradle of the nation. An urban area with a 2000-year history, a precious heritage that demands people of the highest calibre to care for it and to plan its future. Our district includes not only the cathedral city of Winchester, but also smaller towns and villages, beautiful countryside and a large part of the South Downs National Park. You will have the opportunity to use your expertise to shape and support ambitious sustainable development projects across the district.
The Historic Environment Team is a small but influential team within the Built Environment Service, made up of specialists in archaeology, historic buildings and urban design. We’re supportive and highly collaborative; we aspire to high standards in throughout our work. We are committed to your professional development and growth, while maximising work/life balance.

The right candidate will understand what it means to collaborate and engage effectively with a customer and our community stakeholders.
Our offices are based in the heart of Winchester and the successful candidates can benefit from:
