About dxw

dxw works with the public and third sectors to create services and products that improve lives.

We’ve been around since 2008 and worked on lots of projects that have made a real difference – things like helping to track aid spending and looking at how to improve digital collaboration between local authorities.

dxw is employee-owned and our people have an important voice in the direction of the company. People are at the forefront of what we do — the people who work at dxw, our clients, and the people we create services for.

We work effectively, remotely, with people based all around the UK. We keep in touch all the time for work and for social things, and some of us get together in person in our Leeds HQ and co-working spaces in London when we can.

GovPress, by dxw 

This role is part of the GovPress team. GovPress is dxw’s website development, hosting, and support service for public sector and charitable organisations. 

We’ve been working with WordPress for over 13 years and we offer a range of bespoke services. The service hosts high profile websites like NHS England and the Government’s campaign platforms, with long-running campaigns such as Fire Kills and Floods Destroy.

About the role

As an associate delivery lead in the GovPress team, you’ll work with teams to help them become more self-organising, facilitate continuous improvement and remove obstacles to successful delivery. You’ll use your leadership, organisation and problem-solving skills to ensure we deliver great work.

You’ll work with clients facilitating collaborative working and involving them in delivery. We work in an agile way and we want to help our clients embed these principles and practices in the organisations they work in.

You’ll understand how to motivate , keeping focus on the product vision and meeting users’ needs.

You'll facilitate delivery according to the agreed priorities across GovPress. This will often be website builds or improvements and we tend to work on 1-2 of these at a time. You will have support from other delivery team members. There is flexibility here and the level and style of support can vary based on what you need.

We're also trying a new delivery model which you can help shape.

Outside of project work there will be opportunities to contribute to other areas of dxw and internal projects. This might include contributing to sales proposals, helping to reduce our carbon emissions or supporting our diversity and inclusion work.

About you

You care about helping the public sector build better services for those using them.

You are familiar with some agile tools and techniques and understand how they’re used to deliver projects sustainably. You understand how to bring together and look after multidisciplinary teams to deliver outcomes that provide value. You are comfortable making quick and balanced decisions.

You understand how to manage stakeholders to build consensus and you have successfully helped deliver some digital projects and products.

You can be based anywhere in the UK but the role would suit someone ideally based in the Leeds area. If you are Leeds based you will travel to our Leeds HQ to support the team semi regularly. We offer other flexible working options along with access to our office space in London too.

We are committed to making our teams as diverse as possible and to creating an environment where everyone feels included and can be themselves.

We especially encourage candidates historically excluded from technology to apply, including but not limited to people of colour, women and people whose gender doesn’t always align neatly with “man” or “woman”, parents and carers, people with visible and invisible disabilities and atypical neurotypes, and people who didn’t go to university.
