Digital Engagement Coordinator

Our IT team are currently recruiting for a Digital Engagement Coordinator to work with the wider digital engagement team ensuring our IT messages, projects and services are communicated and delivered effectively to the business. The IT team are based at our head office in Letchworth Garden City, but this could be done as a remote or hybrid role, but due to the nature of the role there may be some travel required to other Willmott Dixon offices dependent upon business needs.

The digital engagement function is going from strength to strength. The combined skill sets of the service delivery managers and digital engagement principal have resulted in a strong customer-focussed team, assuring IT services are meeting business requirements and delivering technical and consultative support for communications/engagement activities.

Demand for this service is increasing, so we need to increase support for IT project change and work more closely with the business to ensure our projects land well and are adopted to realise the business benefits.

Within this role you will also provide digital upskilling support to our project teams as well as working closely with our new central marketing function in Construction, who will be using our digital engagement services to support their work.

The Role

Within this role you will be responsible for the delivery of our Digital Communications services including:

* Digital training and adoption service - supporting the creation of digital training, guides and tips in support of any IT projects/digital initiatives across the business.

* Communications platform service - contributing to the development and maintenance of IT pages and communications.

* Virtual event support service - delivery of technical support for any events (virtual/hybrid/F2F that require technology support).

* Digital media creation service - supporting communications and marketing teams with the creation of digital media (such as CEO business update videos, factsheets etc).

* Viva Engage service - helping drive digital content across the Viva Engage channel (such as IT Top Tips and M365 functionality updates).

* IT Project Communications and Engagement Service - support with IT project communications and engagement planning, work closely with business stakeholders and central marketing and communications functions.
