About Camden

Camden is building somewhere 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 fastest-growing economy — we’re focused on creating a borough in which everyone can live a good life and nobody gets left behind.

We have a clear vision - to organise the right people and skills around challenges (like our missions) to deliver the best outcomes for Camden residents and renewal after the pandemic.

Camden has a proud, rebellious spirit that throughout its history has seen communities come together to tackle problems and bring about real social change. We’re willing to be bold and try new things in the process.

But don’t just take our word for it - you can read about some of the different people working in the Council.

About the Systems Project Lead role:

We’re looking for an experienced, empathetic, and passionate Systems Project Lead to work with multidisciplinary teams across policy, design, service expertise, data and research to make the organisation's system improvement ambitions a reality. 

You will have a positive attitude, the use of initiative, and the ability to adapt to changes. You’ll be encouraged to work in an innovative and creative way that puts people at the heart of our work. You will need to engage regularly with the blended core team to determine the most purposeful, priority work and the relevant relationships to be formed to enable this.

Given this role, even if you don’t come from a government background, as a Systems Project Lead you will need to understand the political and economic environment in which our teams operate. You’ll use your skills to lead the work that achieves the greatest purpose and value, to build strong relationships with partners and stakeholders, and to inspire teams to collaborate towards a shared vision.

This Systems Project Lead is in the Supporting Communities Strategy team, (one of the three teams within Camden’s strategy family alongside Supporting People and Strategy & Design). You will have a strong close working relationship with Data, and Digital Services (DDS) and be part of a core blended team of strategy and DDS colleagues.  This role will be working primarily with housing and property management services, where you will use your expertise in housing and property systems and products to understand service requirements and link plans to wider organisational goals.

Currently the teams priorities include leading the council’s Estates and Food missions, developing an innovative response to the climate crisis and ensuring our social housing tenants are in receipt of council services that we can all be proud of.

The supporting Communities strategy team are leading the way in the council by championing new and different ways of solving problems, promoting inclusive and equitable approaches, and creating a culture of continuous improvement to ensure that the organisation achieves the outcomes that meet the needs and expectations of both residents and staff in a sustainable way.
