About us

Camden is building a place where everyone can thrive, by making our borough the best place to live, work, study and visit. We’re not just home to the UK’s fast-growing economy, we are also home to the most important conversations happening today. And we’re making radical social change a reality, so that nobody gets left behind. Here’s where you can help decide a better future for us all.

The Role

This is an exciting opportunity to work in the Parking Operations team where you will be involved in transforming the way we run our services, making these services more customer focused whilst balancing the Council’s key objectives for cleaner air within the borough and the Camden Transport Strategy that encourages a modal shift to healthier forms of travel such as walking and cycling.

You will be managing the delivery of a range of complex projects. This will include reviewing and developing the services’ policies and procedures; the buying and selling of services that support Parking Operations; and reviewing and implementing industry lead innovations that can better support our service users as well as the broader Council.  You will work closely with teams across the service and other services within the Council and engage with a variety of stakeholders.

About you

You will need to be hands-on and self-motivated to learn and understand the statutory requirements, corporate priorities and the Council’s governance procedures in the development and delivery of projects that you lead on. You will want to innovate and consider the future of how parking can operate.

A good understanding on research principles is required and you will have project management experience. You will be able to look holistically at organisational benefits, user needs and technical & organisational constraints. You will be comfortable in engaging with stakeholders across all levels of seniority from residents at public events, attending boards and councillor meetings, visiting conferences and supplier events.
