About the role

We are excited to be recruiting a Technical Project Manager to join our Technology directorate on a 12-month fixed term maternity cover contract.

Right now, the planet is under threat like never before. At WWF, we know the solutions exist to turn things around for future generations if we scale our efforts with urgency and focus. Strong systems and effective digital platforms are critical to making that happen.

As part of the Business Systems Improvement team, this role will lead the technical delivery of key transformation initiatives across WWF-UK. You will play a central role in delivering our Digital Experience programme, including consolidating websites and replacing our content management system, ensuring we have a modern, effective and user-centred digital ecosystem.

Alongside this, you will project manage the implementation of other system improvement projects, delivering solutions that support our Conservation, Finance and Fundraising teams to work more efficiently and effectively.

This role requires strong technical project management capability across the full lifecycle, from supplier onboarding and planning through to go-live, embedding and post-implementation support. You will work closely with delivery partners, internal stakeholders and governance forums to ensure projects are delivered to scope, budget and timeline.

You will be confident operating within both Agile and Waterfall methodologies and experienced in using tools such as Azure Dev Ops, MS Project or Asana to manage plans, risks and deliverables. You will also understand that successful delivery is not only about systems, but about people, adoption and sustainable change.

This is an opportunity to help shape the digital and operational foundations that enable WWF-UK to deliver greater impact.
