We are The Bike Project, a charity that collects second-hand bikes, refurbishes them and donates them to refugees and people seeking asylum in the UK. That brings better health, freedom and independence to people rebuilding their lives in the UK. That’s vital when many are living on less than £10 a week.
A bike links people to essential services, including foodbanks and legal advice, as well as the local community.
About The Bike Project
The Bike Project is an award-winning charity which refurbishes second hand bikes and donates them to refugees. We were founded in 2013 by Jem Stein, after he struck up a friendship and found a bike for Adam, a Darfuri refugee who had fled his home in Sudan after war broke out.
The Bike Project has grown into a national operation with new CEO, hundreds of volunteers, a team of committed staff, an online bike shop and two workshops, one in London and one in Birmingham.
To date we have supported over 15,000 refugees and people seeking asylum by giving them a second-hand bike. In addition, we have supported hundreds through our programmes designed to build confidence and build friendships in the local community.
We are now working towards our ambitious goal - that every refugee, wherever they are, can access the transformative power of a bike. Alongside this, we are strengthening our processes and procedures to ensure we are work efficiently and sustainably.
To help us do this we need people that are full of ideas, who love problem solving and are not afraid to suggest new ways of doing things to achieve the best possible results for our community.

Are you a digital product leader who enjoys balancing strategy with delivery, user needs with organisational priorities, and long-term vision with day-to-day execution?
Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity is looking for a Senior Website Manager to lead the evolution of one of our most important digital products. Our website is much more than a website - it is where supporters discover our work, fundraisers find inspiration, donors take action, and people learn about the difference their support makes to seriously ill children and their families.
This is a high-profile role sitting within our Performance Marketing and Digital Engagement team, with responsibility for shaping the future of the charity’s digital experience. We’re looking for someone who can think strategically about where we need to go, while also being comfortable rolling up their sleeves to help make it happen.
You’ll lead the website product roadmap, drive continuous improvement across supporter journeys and work across a wide range of teams including Fundraising, Marketing, Communications, Technology, Data and external partners. Success in this role comes from being able to flex between strategic planning, stakeholder management, product ownership, user experience, optimisation and delivery.
No two days are likely to look the same. One day you might be facilitating roadmap discussions with senior stakeholders, the next analysing user behaviour, shaping an SEO strategy, reviewing backlog priorities with developers or testing new approaches to improve conversion and supporter engagement.
We’re looking for someone who enjoys bringing people together around a shared vision, navigating complexity and making confident decisions based on evidence, user needs and organisational priorities. Someone who can challenge constructively, build consensus and help teams focus on what will create the greatest value for our supporters and the organisation.

Key Responsibilities
- Lead the strategic vision, roadmap and ongoing development of the charity website, ensuring it supports supporter needs, fundraising objectives and organisational priorities.
- Own the website product backlog, balancing long-term improvements, business priorities, technical considerations and user experience enhancements.
- Work closely with Technology teams, developers, analysts, content specialists and external partners to scope, prioritise and deliver digital improvements through agile ways of working.
- Champion a user-centred approach, using insight, research, testing and data to improve supporter journeys and digital experiences.
- Lead website optimisation activity, including experimentation, A/B testing, user research and conversion improvement initiatives.
- Drive the GOSH’s SEO strategy, ensuring content and technical improvements support sustainable growth and discoverability.
- Build strong relationships across Fundraising, Communications, Marketing and Technology teams, helping align priorities and bring stakeholders together around shared goals.
- Translate organisational needs and supporter insight into clear product outcomes, user stories and prioritised delivery plans.
- Manage website performance, governance, accessibility and compliance, ensuring the platform remains secure, effective and fit for purpose.
- Lead and develop a small team while building digital capability across the organisation through guidance, training and best practice.
Skills, Knowledge and Expertise
- Significant experience managing websites, digital products or digital platforms in a complex environment.
- Strong product management experience, including roadmap development, backlog management and prioritisation.
- Experience working across multiple teams and stakeholder groups, with excellent relationship-building and influencing skills.
- Strong understanding of user-centred design, digital optimisation and supporter or customer journey development.
- Experience using analytics, user research and insight to inform decisions and improve performance.
- Strong SEO knowledge and experience developing strategies that drive growth and visibility.
- Experience working with software engineers, technology teams and external suppliers to deliver digital products and improvements.
- Ability to move comfortably between strategic thinking and hands-on delivery, adapting to changing priorities and organisational needs.
- Strong communication skills, with the ability to translate complex information for technical and non-technical audiences.
- Experience leading and developing teams, creating a collaborative and high-performing environment.
This is a varied and high-impact role where you’ll help shape how people experience GOSH Charity online—from the first moment they discover us to the actions they take to support seriously ill children and their families.
You’ll have the opportunity to influence strategy, lead digital transformation, improve supporter experiences and work with a wide range of talented colleagues across the organisation. If you enjoy solving problems, bringing people together and creating digital experiences that make a difference, we’d love to hear from you.
