With a strong understanding of local labour markets and safeguarding practices, you’ll maintain high-quality case records, contribute to continuous improvement, and actively participate in team development. Adaptability, initiative and resilience are key, as we respond to the evolving needs of our clients and the communities we serve.

Why The Poppy Factory?

• Competitive salary and benefits package including generous holiday and pension contributions.

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.

• Identifying opportunities to use AI and automation to improve efficiency, quality and user experience.

• Gathering and summarising feedback from users during testing, rollout and post-launch.

• Creating clear guidance, process documentation and training materials.

• 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.

• The ability to organise work, plan ahead and manage multiple tasks.

• Clear written and verbal communication across different audiences.

• The ability to listen to users, understand their needs and represent their perspectives.

• 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.

You do not need previous experience as a Digital Transformation Manager. However, experience or familiarity with any of the following would be helpful:

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

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

• Project management or project coordination.

• Process mapping, service design or business analysis.

• Gathering user feedback or conducting user research.

• Testing digital systems or features.

• Working with software suppliers, developers or technical teams.

• Supporting procurement, supplier evaluation or contract management.

• Developing or delivering training and guidance.

• Agile, iterative or user-centred ways of working.

• Understanding data protection, information security, accessibility or responsible technology considerations.

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.

We are a family friendly employer with flexible and hybrid working. We offer an enhanced Employee Assistance Programme, additional annual leave linked to length of service, and an extra special occasion day each year.

We are midway through our five-year strategic plan, at a genuinely exciting moment, both for the charity and for cardiomyopathy more broadly.

As part of the Data and Evidence team, you’ll bring together data and insight to tell a clear story about our impact for men and the wider healthcare system.

In this role, you’ll design practical, meaningful ways to measure success, from shaping our key performance indicators to strengthening how we collect and use data over time. You’ll draw on information from multiple sources to build a joined-up view of our activity, and use clear, engaging data visualisation to bring your findings to life. You’ll also support reporting to boards and committees, presenting evidence in a way that is accessible, relevant and supports good decision-making.

You’ll work closely with colleagues across the organisation, helping them evaluate their work and feel more confident using data in their day-to-day roles.

We've also signed Business in the Communities Race at Work Charter, as a dedication to our Black health equity work and wider EDI priorities. As a signatory, we're responsible and accountable for driving positive change.

How and where we work

Colleagues attend the office at least four days per month (pro rata for part-time colleagues) to collaborate, build relationships, and support projects and decision-making. You can choose where to work the rest of the time. Travel to the office is a commute, so we pay our own travel costs.

Additional in-person attendance will be required during your first few months for induction and training, to support you to learn the role and get to know colleagues.

We trust colleagues to work flexibly while balancing personal commitments with the needs of the charity, and we are committed to making reasonable adjustments for colleagues with a disability, neurodiversity, or a long-term physical or mental health condition.
