Cardiff, Cardiff, United Kingdom Department for Business and Trade Full time

We're looking for an enthusiastic engagement manager to join our existing Engagement and Strategic Adoption team within the Digital, Data and Technology (DDaT) directorate here at DBT. Here in the Engagement and Strategic Adoption team, we have 2 key missions:

  • Empower and enable our people to actively promote DDaT's values and ways of working across DBT and externally, increasing productivity and providing value for money.
  • Increase quality usage of DBT's products and services, while providing measurable results to further understand and meet our user needs.

In this role, you will work collaboratively across our DDaT teams and professions, developing and implementing communications, engagement and product adoption campaigns - from discovery phase through to reinforcement.

You will be tasked with developing clear and consistent messaging, helping DDaT teams land key messages with users, driving awareness and encouraging behaviour changes.

Whether you are joining from a communications, product marketing, engagement or digital background, this role will be varied and give you space to innovate and fine-tune your skills. The position provides an opportunity to work closely with a large and growing community of DDaT professionals and DBT staff across the globe, offering you opportunities to stretch and develop in your career.
