Programme Manager

We're looking for a skilled Programme Manager, preferably with knowledge and networks in active and sustainable transport, to deliver a large-scale, app-based behaviour change programme across West Yorkshire. In order to meet our Social Value commitments, this role is only open to candidates living within the area.

If you are committed to helping more people to walk, wheel, cycle and use public transport, this could be the role for you. You will be joining a remote team of behaviour change experts delivering programmes across transport, health and climate agendas in the UK and Europe. We have an open and collaborative culture and people stay with us: our core team has over 50 years' combined service with the company. We're a Certified B Corp and a purpose-driven business dedicated to doing good for society and the planet.

The role will involve working closely with the client team at the West Yorkshire Combined Authority, engaging stakeholders across the region and fostering partnerships with businesses and charities. You will be responsible for delivering campaigns to promote active and sustainable transport and for ensuring targets are met on time and within budget.

The successful candidate will be:

• a confident communicator in person, online and in writing
• a well organised and dynamic project manager
• passionate about sustainability and public health
• skilled with Microsoft Office and able to use a range of online tools
• able to pick up new skills quickly
• aware of the barriers to - and benefits of - active and sustainable transport
• personally committed to the aims of the programme

The role is for the length of the contract with WYCA - two years - but we are a rapidly growing company and the successful candidate will likely be offered a permanent contract at the end of this period. Benefits include 28 days of annual leave and Cycle to Work scheme.
