Senior Digital Project Manager

Kinship is the leading kinship care charity in England and Wales. We offer kinship carers financial, legal, practical and emotional support and understanding from the moment they need it, for as long as they need it. Our expert advice, information and guidance helps with complicated and stressful decisions that so many kinship families have to make. We are always there to support them through challenging times and celebrate the good. 
 
Kinship carers are strong and determined. Together, they are powerful. We help them build communities of support and action by connecting families locally and across England and Wales. 
 
We are at the heart of kinship networks, partnering with and influencing service providers, local and national government and other organisations. We give everything we have to fight for each family and their rights, changing society until every kinship family is recognised, valued and supported. 

About the team
This is an exciting role, joining our newly formed Digital and Content team at Kinship. As the organisation continues to invest in its digital estate to support organisational goals, the role of Senior Digital Project Manager will play a key role. You will work with the Head of Digital and Content to maintain a brilliant website and build digital products, which meet the needs of our kinship carers and our other key audiences.  
  
We have just launched our newly redeveloped website (kinship.org.uk) and over the coming months will be making improvements and working on future developments led by the needs of kinship carers. One focus of continued development will be the new ‘in your area’ feature which enables kinship carers to find what local and national support is in their local area. We plan to continue to build on user feedback to ensure this tool is a gateway for kinship carers into the information and support they need.

About the role
The role of the Senior Digital Project Manager is to lead the project management of digital development projects, to oversee the existing website and be a product owner for different digital tools we use as an organization (such as Notion, Zoom). It will also be to ensure all new digital developments align with organisational objectives, are inclusive and accessible, and meet user needs. 

The postholder will also manage the agile work process in the team, using Asana to manage our team sprints and lead planning and retrospectives.
  
It will be the responsibility of the postholder to manage risk assessments, use the RACI model to ensure teams are engaged and aware of their responsibilities, manage the project timeline and day to day relationship with the digital agency.  
  
This role will be crucial to enabling Kinship to deliver high-quality digital services, supporting kinship carers across the UK and ensuring that our digital platforms are robust, reliable, and aligned with our mission and values. 

The type of person we’re looking for
We are seeking a candidate with a strong background in project management and UX. You will be experienced in managing complex digital projects throughout their lifecycle. You will be able to work collaboratively and have excellent communication skills to engage both internal and external stakeholders. 
  
You will have a genuine passion for working with and involving users in meaningful ways and have a particular interest in accessible and inclusive design.  
  
You will be able to build rapport with internal stakeholders, keeping them up to date with digital developments, explaining things in easily accessible language and obtaining buy-in from across the organisation.  
  
We are seeking someone who is curious and excited about digital developments. Who wants to explore how they can make a difference to kinship carers lives, while understanding risks and ethical considerations.
