About us
The Ramblers is Britain’s walking charity. We open the way so everyone can enjoy the benefits of walking.
It’s easy to think everyone has the same opportunity to enjoy the outdoors. But look a little deeper and you’ll find lots of barriers standing in the way. So we’re continuing to fight for change. We campaign for the public’s right to enjoy the outdoors, protect paths, build skills and offer different ways to get out walking in nature.
Our programmes have a big impact in local communities: Ramblers Wellbeing Walks help people take the first step to a healthier happier lifestyle, and the Ramblers Out There Award gives young adults aged 18–26 the opportunity to kickstart their journey into the outdoors.
Through our refreshed strategy, we’ll build on this experience and grow our impact through activities that prioritise the needs of communities who have the least access and face the most barriers walking outside in nature.
Purpose of Role
This is a new role within the Strategy and Governance team, a team which supports delivery of the Ramblers’ strategy through business planning, project management and impact measurement, and oversees the management of governance matters.
The purpose of the Project Manager role is to:
- Manage project teams to drive delivery of key initiatives in the business plan using best practice project management approaches. (80% of time)
- Provide a Project Management Office (PMO) function, helping to raise standards and rigour in project management across the organisation. (20% of time)
Key responsibilities
- Oversee the end-to-end project lifecycle of key projects including:

- identifying and tracking a clear set of measurable outcomes / benefits
- establishing and overseeing appropriate project governance arrangements
- developing a project plan setting out activities, deliverables and milestones
- identifying and managing key risks, assumptions, issues and dependencies
- preparing and managing a project budget and a resourcing schedule
- developing and implementing communications and engagement plans, working with the comms team
