As Senior Project Manager, you will lead our Artworks and Placemaking programmes. These programmes work with local communities to care for, protect, and improve places along the National Cycle Network (NCN) through artwork and placemaking.
You will lead the expansion of the Artworks and Placemaking programme from Scotland into England. This includes setting up new projects, supporting delivery partners, and making sure funder requirements are met.
You will also manage the ArtRoots community grants programme. In addition, you will oversee an England wide audit of artworks on the National Cycle Network, working closely with our volunteer network.
You will work with teams across the Walk Wheel Cycle Trust to track progress and understand the impact of this work. A key part of the role is sharing outcomes, learning, and achievements in a clear and accessible way with funders, partners, and other stakeholders.
What You’ll Be Doing

- Support community led delivery along the National Cycle Network (NCN). Work closely with Local Authorities, volunteers, community groups, external partners, and internal teams.
- Manage and support project teams. Help teams prioritise work so time and resources are focused where they have the greatest impact.
- Set the strategic direction for the programme and develop a clear pipeline of projects. Lead funding bids, define KPIs, and make sure impact is clearly measured and evidenced.
This role is ideal for someone who enjoys delivering community arts projects that make a real difference. The work involves supporting communities to shape their local spaces and creating clear evidence of impact for funders.

- Proven experience managing complex programmes and multiple projects at the same time. This includes managing budgets, identifying and managing risk, and working within structured project management approaches.
- Experience developing successful funding applications and building positive, collaborative partnerships. You will be confident working with communities, stakeholders, volunteers, and members of the public.
