• Liaise with clients and internal teams to ensure milestones are met and outputs are accurate.
• Act as the owner of one of the Local Authority Team\u2019s internal tools or processes, pushing for continuous improvement of the team\u2019s delivery in that area.
• May occasionally take on a special project outside of the Local Authority Team\u2019s standard offering

• Being available for in-office tasks as required.
• Balance competing deadlines by managing several tasks and priorities in parallel.
• Attend client meetings, both in person and virtually, and represent Civica confidently.

• Although you don’t need to be a seasoned project manager, experience in project delivery or client-facing background is preferred
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with confidence in client-facing interactions.
• Strong organisational and time management skills to manage multiple deadlines.
• High attention to detail, with a proactive and methodical approach to work.
• Flexibility to work at least 2 days per week in our London office, with increased in-office time at peak points in the election calendar. Occasional client travel also required.
