- Ensure user needs are placed at the heart of all content design proposals, championing the user and their overall experience
- Build relationships across multi-disciplinary, agency and government teams to focus on the needs of the user and influence stakeholders
- Work closely and collaboratively with policy teams to create accessible digital consultation.

**The type of person we’d love to meet**:

- Deep knowledge of how to use Agile to deliver progress and tangible outputs across digital platforms
- Expert level skill and knowledge of the public sector working within a similar role.
- Track record of creating high quality content that is accessible, inclusive, optimised for search engines, usable and accurate
- Proven ability to use insight and user feedback to define and improve content and user experience
- A skilled leader and mentor who is confident in growing and maturing a community of practice.
- Extensive experience of managing relationships with a range of stakeholders
- Be analytical and curious with the ability to find the key insight in a wide range and volume of research, reports, information and data
- Skilled in presenting and able to explain complex detail in a simple, clear and compelling way
- Organised and efficient at managing multiple projects and deadlines
- Be a self starter who is equally comfortable working alone as well as in close collaboration with team members
- Able to confidently work in a fast paced, demanding environment

- £1,000 annual learning budget- Hybrid remote working policy- Global leadership programmes- Flexible working hours- Enhanced Christmas leave- Dog friendly offices- Subsidised private healthcare- Discounted gym membershipWhoever you are, wherever you’re from and whoever you love, you’ll find an open door at Kin + Carta.
