Our client, a digital consultancy with a long track record in UK government, is building a new shared intranet for two large national public sector organisations. The project merges content from their two current intranets into a single site with a new information architecture.

The role

You'll lead delivery of the new intranet from kick-off to launch, taking the team through agile phases in line with government ways of working.

• Set up and run the delivery approach: plan, roadmap, ceremonies, RAID log and reporting
• Lead a multidisciplinary team through discovery, alpha and beta
• Plan and track the migration of content from two sites into one, including dependencies and cutover
• Keep senior stakeholders in both organisations aligned on scope, progress and decisions
• Spot risks and blockers early and clear them
• Work with the Product Owner on priorities and release plans

What you'll bring

• Delivery lead or delivery manager experience on UK government digital projects
• A track record of running work through agile phases (discovery, alpha, beta, live) to GDS ways of working
• Website development projects, ideally including content migration or a new information architecture
• Confident facilitation of agile ceremonies with multidisciplinary teams
• Senior stakeholder management across more than one organisation
• Experience leading remote teams

Nice to have

• Intranet or internal communications platform projects
• Health or wider public sector experience
• Projects that bring together two organisations, sites or brands
