Are you experienced in collaborating with autonomous, agile teams, leveraging your expertise in project management to support the governance and financial management of large technical programmes?
We're looking for a Senior Digital Project Manager to support the development of a new adaptable and sustainable web platform, and the migration from a legacy web estate. Working with the Head of Digital, you'll oversee project management and governance, ensuring clear roles and responsibilities, effective senior stakeholder management and engagement with a project board and PMO. You'll collaborate with product managers, designers, developers, and suppliers, while driving successful delivery within the project life cycle and providing support through effective governance mechanisms.
We're growing the Digital team at British Red Cross to support the development of our new Web Platform. You'll join an in-house, multifunctional team building a new, full-stack platform and architecture: our goal is to support other teams across the organisation to focus on content, audiences and purpose without worrying about building, maintaining and supporting websites.
