About the Role
Join an award-winning team at the heart of UK government, where your work will genuinely shape lives. As part of WPP 650 you'll be part of a supportive, collaborative environment that values curiosity, kindness, and growth. Together, we use behaviour change principles to design smarter services, influence better decisions, and help millions of people across the country. Named WPP 650, after the 650 UK constituencies, the name is a reminder that our work must reflect the full breadth of the country, every community, every audience. No two days are the same. The challenges are complex, the problems worth solving, and the learning constant. You'll tackle issues that matter, alongside talented colleagues who care deeply about what they do. It's demanding - but always rewarding. This is meaningful work with real-world impact - the kind you can point to with pride.

- ● Serve as the vital day-to-day engine driving execution, coordination, and tracking for our flagship UK Government account (WPP 650).
- ● Provide hands-on project management, administration, and execution of innovation strategies and thought-leadership programs.
