ABOUT UPREACH
Do you think that your socio-economic background should determine your career prospects?
upReach’s vision is of a society in which everybody has an equal opportunity to realise their full career potential. Our work is important because, currently, a student from a disadvantaged background who gains a first-class degree from a top university is less likely to secure an elite job than a more privileged student with a 2.2.
We are an award-winning charity employer working to address this issue in partnership with employers and universities. We help undergraduates from lower socioeconomic backgrounds achieve their career potential by providing an intensive programme of support that addresses socio-economic barriers to graduate employment.
To find out more about how we support our students, visit our website and read our Annual Report and Impact Report.
ROLE OVERVIEW
This is an exciting time to join upReach as we begin a new phase of our digital transformation. We are investing in the systems, tools and ways of working that will help us support more students, improve the experience of the upReach team, and deliver our mission more effectively.
We are looking for a thoughtful, organised and motivated Junior Digital Transformation Manager to join the Product Team and play an important role in turning this ambition into practical, lasting change.
Technology plays a central role in how we support students, collaborate with partners and operate as an organisation. Working with the Director of Product, colleagues in the Product Team and teams across upReach, you will help deliver our digital transformation strategy.
You will coordinate projects from initial discovery and planning through to implementation, training and continuous improvement. You will work closely with internal users, technology suppliers and other stakeholders to ensure digital changes are practical, inclusive, well-managed and aligned with organisational needs.
This role offers the opportunity to contribute to significant organisation-wide projects at an early stage, helping to shape how upReach uses technology in the years ahead.
You do not need to have previously worked in a digital transformation role. You may have developed relevant experience through project coordination, operations, process improvement, technology implementation, product management or another role involving organisational change.
This is a strong opportunity for someone who enjoys solving problems, improving how things work and helping people use technology confidently.
CORE RESPONSIBILITIES
You will support the delivery of upReach’s digital transformation strategy by helping teams adopt better tools, systems and ways of working, including the responsible use of AI.
Your responsibilities will include:
-
Coordinating the rollout and adoption of new digital tools, systems and AI-enabled solutions.
-
Supporting digital transformation projects from planning through to implementation and review.
-
Working with teams across upReach to understand their workflows, challenges and technology needs.

Supporting colleagues to use new tools and AI responsibly, confidently and consistently.
-
Identifying opportunities to improve, simplify or connect systems and processes.
-
Monitoring how well new tools are working and recommending improvements.
-
Supporting relationships with external suppliers and technology partners.
You will take ownership of agreed areas of work, while receiving support from the Director of Product and other experienced colleagues.
SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE
There is no such thing as a “perfect” candidate. We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds, including those who may not have followed a traditional route into technology, project management or digital transformation.
We’re particularly interested in:
-
Curiosity about how organisations, systems and processes work.
-
A genuine interest in using technology to improve services and create social impact.

Thoughtful problem-solving and strong attention to detail.
-

-
Confidence building constructive working relationships with colleagues and external stakeholders.
-
The ability to take ownership of work while seeking support when appropriate.
-
A practical and balanced approach to change, recognising that successful transformation depends on people and processes as well as technology.

-
Implementing or rolling out a new digital tool or system.

Supporting organisational change or encouraging people to adopt new ways of working.

COMPETENCIES
Within upReach, the Junior Digital Transformation Manager is an equivalent level to a Junior Manager in other teams. This level involves you demonstrating more leadership capabilities. This includes having ownership of your responsibility area, and demonstrating an ability to informally lead and have positive influence on the wider team. We will be looking for you to demonstrate that you can plan ahead, proactively anticipate upcoming projects or challenges, and problem solve more independently.
upReach have created a Behaviours and Competency Framework to ensure the team have full visibility on the key capabilities required for effective performance, how these connect to our organisational values, and the level required for each band within the organisation.
Within the Product Team, we’ll support you to apply these behaviours and competencies to product management helping you to learn and develop your skills across four key areas:
-
Delivery & Execution – coordinating and delivering digital change, and solving problems
-
User Insight – understanding and representing the teams and people who use our systems
-
Transformation Strategy – thinking ahead, prioritising, and connecting systems and processes
-
Influencing People – working effectively with colleagues, suppliers and stakeholders to drive adoption
You’ll be encouraged to take ownership of your work, build your confidence, and grow into greater responsibility over time. You’ll also have opportunities to learn from experienced colleagues and contribute to meaningful projects.
While you may not have experience in product management, we would expect you to be demonstrating most competencies at level 3 with some at Level 2.

About the role
The Institut français du Royaume-Uni is seeking a dynamic and strategic Head of Patrons’ Circle & Sponsorship Activation to lead the development of its patron engagement programmes and sponsorship (in-kind) activation strategy across the Institut’s major cultural events and flagship seasons.
This senior role has three core objectives:
