About the Role

This is a rare opportunity to lead a pilot campaign designed to empower local communities to take meaningful environmental action. As Project Manager, you will oversee all aspects of project delivery - from planning and implementation to evaluation - supported by a skilled and collaborative communications and campaigns team.

You'll be working within a forward-thinking charity with a national reputation for innovation, evidence-led impact, and strong community partnerships.

This is a hands-on role where your leadership will directly shape the campaign's success - and potentially inform wider national work.

• Confidence in engaging diverse partners and communities
• Excellent organisational and interpersonal skills
• Experience of managing budgets and delivering project reports
• Familiarity with hybrid working tools and processes
• A strong interest in sustainability, community development or behaviour change
