About Outlandish

We are a digital agency working on socially impactful tech projects, working with the likes of Greenpeace, the BBC, Innovate UK, trade unions and charities big and small. We specialise in complex data-led websites, tools and campaigns.

We are looking for a proactive Digital Project Manager to take ownership and responsibility for our spread of existing client support projects, initially. We hope to expand this into chunkier client projects as and when we secure them across 2025.

Part of your role will be to actively participate in sales work. You will be joining our business development team to generate new work from new clients.

Skills are only part of what we look for. You'll be able to use your interest for social justice, activism, the environment and more by collaborating with clients who are invested in projects that make the world better.

It is our hope that after this initial contract period you will apply to join our cooperative membership permanently and become a co-director of the business.

We especially encourage applications from groups that are underrepresented throughout the technology industry i.e. women, disabled people and people of colour, since a team that can bring different perspectives, ideas and thoughts together will effectively deliver awesome work.
