o Reviewing and contributing to code where appropriate.
o Supporting technical problem‑solving and performance optimisation.
o Participating in testing, release, and deployment activities.
· Work closely day‑to‑day with the Digital Engagement team, ensuring technical delivery supports user experience, content, fundraising, and optimisation objectives.
· Establish and embed good engineering practices for the platform, including documentation, environment management, deployment, monitoring, and support handover.
· Take technical ownership of the platform post‑launch, supporting continuous improvement, optimisation, and future enhancements.
Knowledge, skills and experience needed:
· Strong professional experience as a senior software engineer / lead software engineer working on modern website or digital platforms.

o React (or comparable modern JavaScript frameworks).
o Headless CMS and API‑driven architectures.
o CI/CD pipelines and automated testing practices.
· Experience acting as a technical owner or lead for an app or website.

Actively Interviewing
This organisation is scheduling interviews as applications come in. They're ready to hire as soon as they find the right person. Don't miss your opportunity, apply now!
At Cast from Clay, we work with organisations that make our societies better for all of us. Are you the person to lead on all things digital for clients campaigning to improve school food, to better conserve the ocean, or to protect children in war?
The job
We're looking for a digital leader. To us, that means you’ll be able to advise clients on how to align their digital presence with their organisational goals. You’ll know what good looks like, and you’ll have the interpersonal skills to explain and convince others of your views.
Ever-curious, you’re the kind of person that is always looking for opportunities to make digital deliver for clients. You'll have an instinctive sense of what will (and won't) work on various platforms (websites, data platforms, Substacks, etc.), how they should complement each other and what it means to build an engaged online audience.
You'll have that instinct because you've done it before: you know how to set digital/design KPIs and manage a team to meet those targets; you’ve run enough website build processes to do it in your sleep, and you know how to identify things a client should do, and explain to them why they should invest in doing them.
You’ll have a number of responsibilities from day one. You’ll take over advising our largest digital clients and be responsible for supporting them in their mission.
You’ll be the new business lead for any strategy projects that require digital infrastructure – that means identifying what needs to change, writing those ideas into proposals, and pitching them. And you will own the digital roadmap for client content-led platforms, ensuring that the content isn’t just ‘published’ but drives audience growth.
You’ll be managing a team of developers to ensure the final product delivers on the strategic vision. While you may have a technical background, it’s worth being clear that this is not a technical role and we are not looking for exclusively technical candidates.
The challenge
Our clients work in the front line of campaigning to make the world a better place. Their websites are often the first thing funders and policymakers will check to see how legitimate or credible an organisation is. Nothing kills credibility faster than a website that loads slowly, categorises content in a way that no-one outside the organisation understands, or a site where the design is just… bad.
The challenge is that too many policy websites prioritise internal audiences over external. Rather than thinking “what does policymaker X need to see?”, the question is “what do senior management want to see on the website?” This leads to websites that are an output in themselves, rather than websites that lead to outcomes.
Your job is to ensure that all our digital workstreams avoid that trap; that they prioritise outcomes (hard to do), over simple outputs (anyone can do).
What we are looking for:
-
Someone who prizes outcomes over outputs, and knows how to adapt their approach to achieve best results.
-
Clear leadership of a digital function–in a consultancy, a nonprofit, or another relevant organisation.
-
A consultative approach: you’re able to identify problems, solutions and opportunities, and convince others of your point of view.
-
Commercial and revenue management experience.
-
Experience managing a team, and an understanding of how to get the best out of different types of people in that team.
-
An understanding of the policy landscape and know how to use digital platforms to move the needle with policymakers, media, and other stakeholders.
If you feel like you don’t meet 100% of the criteria, please don’t let that stop you. If you love the sound of this role and have a strong foundation in building and growing content-led platforms across multiple digital touchpoints, we would love to hear from you.
Why us?
We’re proud to be named one of the Sunday Times Best Places to Work 2026, and we work hard to keep it that way.
The kinds of people that thrive at Cast from Clay are intellectually curious, are open to challenge, and care about the details. Most importantly, they prize clarity of thought. In today’s world we are overwhelmed with information and content. Knowing what you think and being able to explain why is, to our minds, one of the most important skills of today.
It’s worth saying that we don’t care what your political views are, as long as you have some. The team has a mix of views, and we view ideological diversity as crucial to our ability to be an effective consultancy.
What we offer
We offer a competitive benefits package for all our positions, including enhanced parental leave, sabbaticals, and training budgets.
-
Office: we work from our offices in Vauxhall on Tuesdays and Thursdays. You’re welcome to use the office more frequently than that if you wish.
-
Home office allowance: we’ll make a £150 contribution towards kitting out your home workspace.
-
Flexible working: tell us how you work best and we’ll do what we can to make it happen – including if you want to spend time working from abroad.
-
Regular team socials: we like spending time together so every few weeks we come up with ideas for things to do together. That’s included board games over pizza, ice skating, movie nights, playing a VR game together and going on llama safari at our local city farm.
-
Training: you’ll get up to £200 annual training budget to spend on your professional development.
-
Pension: we will pay 5% of your salary, matching the 5% you pay, to make a total of 10% annual contributions.
-
Holidays: we offer 25 days holiday per year, plus bank holidays, and we close the office over Christmas.
-
Bonuses: we offer a 5% new business bonus, and a company wide bonus if annual profit targets are hit.
Interested?
If this sounds like you, please apply here with:
-
One example of how you have used digital to deliver a real-world outcome (we aren’t interested in engagement stats/number of hits)
-
Your CV (no more than 2 pages).
We expect to receive a lot of applications for this role. To help yours stand out, please give us a couple of sentences in your email as to why you want to work at Cast from Clay.
It’s also worth saying that we want to hear your genuine voice, so please don’t use AI to write this. Not least because there will be lots of people who will use AI, and it’s always amusing for us when a bunch of very different people all write the same thing…!
Things to note
-
You need to have permission to work in the U.K. already - we cannot sponsor visas for this role.
-
We are an equal opportunities employer and we are determined to ensure that no applicant or employee receives less favourable treatment on the grounds of gender, age, class, disability, religion, belief, sexual orientation, marital status, or race, or is disadvantaged by conditions or requirements which cannot be shown to be justifiable.
