We are looking for a new member of the digital communications team to play a key role in our digital transformation programme. This programme is an exciting foundational piece of work enabling us to achieve our strategic objectives. As we create and lead a community of outstanding experts and innovators to engineer better lives, our website is a key external communications channel essential to more than communicating our impact. It plays a key role in enabling us to reach new and existing audiences, strengthen our communities and their impact, and broaden perceptions of engineers and engineering.
In this post, you will be instrumental in ensuring the successful delivery of the next phase of the Academy website redevelopment. Your expertise in website management, plus your project management skills, will see you liaising between internal teams and external suppliers, ensuring project plans are agreed and kept on track, and escalating risks as needed.
As a website manager with a user-first approach, your expertise will be crucial in ensuring the Academy website develops to prioritise users and offer seamless journeys through the site and our integrations. You'll feed in to work on audience mapping and a site restructure, again bringing your top-notch web skills and experience to this project. As we build up a backlog, you'll liaise with colleagues and developers on sprints for new functionality, shaping what's needed based on data and insights. Your approach will be data-led, and you'll draw on user testing and feedback as well as GA4 and SEO tracking tools to inform decisions.
A strong communicator, you'll liaise with colleagues and stakeholders at all levels to keep work on track. This is a brilliant role for a web manager with great project management skills to make their own.
Please note this is a fixed term role for up to 18 months.
