Please note internally this role is call Lead on Measurement, Learning and Digital Work.

We’re recruiting a Digital Platform Lead to support a mission-driven organisation during a critical delivery period, covering parental leave.

This role focuses on the finalisation, launch and live management of a simple, interactive digital platform designed to keep communities engaged between in-person activity. The platform functions as an accessible website where people can interact, share ideas and take part in decision-making, and has been developed using AI-enabled tools with external developer support in place.

The postholder will play a key role in ensuring the platform runs smoothly during live use, generating real-time insight to inform operational teams and supporting early-stage impact measurement activity.

Key responsibilities:

• Finalise and launch a community engagement platform, working closely with the developer (Cookie Wolf)
• Oversee day-to-day platform operation, troubleshooting issues and managing moderation
• Use the platform to support storytelling, community updates and public participation
• Lead the digital delivery of a public “visioning” process, enabling people to submit ideas and vote
• Analyse live engagement data to inform outreach and operational decisions
• Maintain and develop early-stage data collection tools to support impact measurement
• Consolidate data from events, web communications and social media
• Support team learning activity and the development of a learning culture

About you:

• Experience managing live digital platforms or interactive websites
• Comfortable working on the technical side of delivery and liaising with developers
• Able to troubleshoot issues and take ownership of externally visible digital tools
• Confident using data to generate practical insight (rather than producing formal reports)
• Happy working independently while feeding insight into operational and senior teams

This is an excellent short-term opportunity for someone who enjoys hands-on digital delivery, community engagement and learning-led work with clear social impact.
