The Nantes Saint-Nazaire metropolitan center ensures, on behalf of its five member intermunicipalities and their sixty-one municipalities bringing together 948,000 inhabitants, three types of missions:
– Political cooperation: animation of a space for dialogue in the service of a shared vision, prospective reflection on the development of the large territory and cooperation with neighboring territories
– Strategic planning: development, evaluation, revision and participation in the implementation of the Territorial Coherence Scheme, serving intermunicipalities
– Managing change: support through collective experimentation, financing of studies or development actions, mobilization of the field of research in the service of the political trajectory
Since December 2022, the Union Committee has initiated the general revision of the Territorial Coherence Scheme, for adoption planned for December 2025, thus opening the work of a new territorial project for the metropolitan area through the progressive implementation of its action program.
The preparation of the next mandate from 2026, the development of cooperation with neighboring territories and urban fabric partners constitute, with the implementation of the action program, the three major challenges to be met.
It is in this renewed context of cooperation that Saint-Nazaire agglomeration, as part of the provision of a service, is recruiting its Director on behalf of the Nantes Saint-Nazaire Metropolitan Pole.

• Steering and leading the “Trajectory 2050” strategy by being a force for proposals on the studies and experiments to be carried out
• The development of new partnership strategies to serve the project led by the Metropolitan Pole
