Overview

Do you excel at building partnerships, connecting people, and driving collaboration across complex networks? We’re looking for an Ecosystem Collaboration Manager to join the Office for Investment: Financial Services (OFI:FS) — a dedicated concierge service supporting international financial services firms to establish and grow their presence in the UK.

This role is a secondment from the City of London Corporation into the OFI:FS — a public-private partnership that brings together the Office for Investment, HM Treasury, the Financial Conduct Authority, the Prudential Regulation Authority, and the City of London Corporation, alongside secondees from leading professional services firms.

As Ecosystem Collaboration Manager, you’ll play a pivotal role in connecting investor opportunities with the right partners across the UK’s Nations, Regions, and professional services network. You’ll be responsible for ensuring that collaboration is seamless, referrals are well-managed, and investors receive a consistent, high-quality service.

What you will do

• Develop and maintain strategic relationships with UK Nations, Regions, and professional services partners.
• Oversee investor referrals and service coordination to ensure timely, effective handoffs and delivery.
• Monitor partner responsiveness and performance against agreed standards, using data to drive improvements.
• Manage secondee and service delivery arrangements with professional services firms.
• Facilitate two-way engagement between OFI:FS and its ecosystem partners, strengthening collaboration and accountability.
• Represent OFI:FS at key forums, meetings, and events to promote partnership working and shared objectives.

Who we are looking for

• An experienced relationship manager or partnership lead with a strong grasp of the UK financial and professional services landscape.
• Highly organised, proactive, and skilled at managing complex projects and multiple stakeholders.
• A confident communicator with excellent influencing and negotiation skills.
• Analytical and data-driven, with the ability to monitor performance and identify opportunities for improvement.
• A collaborative problem-solver who thrives on bringing partners together to deliver shared outcomes.

This is a unique opportunity to work at the centre of the UK’s investment ecosystem — connecting government, business, and industry to deliver a world-class experience for investors and strengthen the UK’s global competitiveness.

The City of London Corporation is currently undergoing a programme to ensure that our pay and reward practices are competitive and equitable across the whole organisation, to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to thrive in the work that we do.
