About the role
This is an exciting opportunity to join Sustrans as part of the Strategic Communications team. Sustrans has been working on a digital product to make the National Cycle Network (NCN) more accessible for disabled people across the UK.
As the Project Manager, you will oversee the second phase of developing this innovative digital product. This involves working closely with our external digital agency, managing the development and test of the online tool to take it from beta to minimum viable product, and the soft launch, scheduled for the summer of 2025.
You will build and manage relationships with internal colleagues and external digital partners, making sure that all parties involved are regularly updated on the progress of the product.
You'll work closely with the Strategic Communications team to plan for the soft launch of the product.
This role may require travel and work at different locations as may be necessary to undertake projects on behalf of Sustrans.
About you
Ideally, you'll have experience managing the development and roll out of digital products, as well as basic understanding of accessibility, UX and user testing.
You will also be experienced in effectively managing a project and budget, ideally for a digital product, online application or website. You'll also have the ability to build relationships with ease with a wide range of people.
You will need to demonstrate excellent IT and digital literacy, have proven verbal and written communication skills, and also have a strong ability to plan and prioritise your own workload.
Sustrans has a long-term commitment to being a charity for everyone - reducing inequality, valuing diversity, enabling inclusion and ensuring all people are treated with dignity and respect.
We aim to be a truly inclusive employer and welcome applications from people from all parts of the community, in particular from under-represented groups.
