Our client projects often (but not always) run in a waterfall process, whereas many of our teams internally adopt agile methodologies; so an understanding of both methodologies is essential.

We’re a very process driven team who always seek to do things “the right way”, and we’re looking for people who can both contribute to ensuring those processes are followed but also help us to develop and refine new processes to ensure that we continue to deliver the highest quality product and service to our clients and to the sector as a whole.

We’re extremely proud of the way we work and the open culture we have developed.

Key responsibilities:
- Manage day-to-day communication with clients, including weekly calls during active projects
- Prioritise development items for our engineering teams to work through
- Manage project timelines, working with clients and internal teams to keep projects on track and manage expectations where needed
- Working closely with technical teams internally to manage scope
- Monitor and proactively manage project performance against budget
- Attend Project Board meetings and prepare supporting slides/materials

Experience sought:
- 3+ years experience delivering technical digital projects including websites
- A compulsive list maker, organiser and executer
- Previous experience working in a digital agency is essential
- The ability to grasp concepts quickly
- Someone who loves technical challenges

What we value in this role:
- You love the challenge of making complex things simple
- You can convey complex concepts clearly to other team members
- You’re someone who likes to implement processes and ensure they are followed
- You seek to learn from others as well as share your knowledge and experience
- Great attention to detail
- Can do / Make it happen attitude

Type: Permanent
Salary range: £25-38k
