Large well-known charity looking for a Project Manager on a 12-Month fixed term basis.

The client

I am working with a large well-known charity who are looking for a Project Manager on a 12-Month fixed term basis (potential for this to extend or even turn permanent – but not guaranteed).

They are looking to re-imagine their entire website. They currently do have a digital team with a content design & UX designer, but they’ll be bringing in an external agency also as they are really looking to invest in a huge over-haul so that they can use digital technologies to further support and enhance their work and increase their impact.

The role

You may be working on:

Defining and validating user needs based on evidence from research
Presenting findings and actionable recommendations to stakeholder groups – both in person and online
Creating, maintaining and prioritising product backlogs
Working on pipelines to direct the work of developers, agencies and freelancers
Working with stakeholders to communicate design plans, progress and outcomes – with the ability to advise, influence and challenge constructively
Designing and delivering training to upskill colleagues in areas such as website content management and related digital skills
Budget and resource management
Testing across digital platforms, including A/B and usability testing
Workshop facilitation
Reporting on project progress to external funding bodies at project milestones, against agreed funding criteria

The candidate

You’ll need knowledge of:

Deep understanding of digital tools and infrastructure such as content management systems (CMSes), forms and APIs
Interest in and understanding of UX trends, tools and developments
User-centred design and development methodologies such as Agile
Familiarity with setting, monitoring and reporting measurable product performance and impact targets
Confidence working with project management tools
Flexibility to tailor approach and outcomes depending on the audience
Project managing design and delivery of headless CMS solutions
Research and prototyping tools such as Snap Surveys, Figma and Miro

Experience working for a charity, public sector, education or arts organisation in the past is a huge bonus!

Location/WFH Policy:

The company policy is to do 8 days in the London office per month – however you choose (worth noting – these ‘in-office’ days would also count if you’re out at a partner site for the day for example).

Salary:

Up to £50k
