Summary
We are transforming the way the Civil Service works by creating great places to work, leading the largest commercial office programme in the UK, working towards halving carbon emissions from government offices, and achieving greater value for taxpayers. And we are looking for innovative, solutions-focused people to join our team.
Representing the best covenant in the UK – His Majesty’s Government – we are leading significant transformational programmes such as the Government Hubs Programme, Whitehall Campus Programme and Net Zero Programme. We are also delivering cost-effective property services such as asset management, lifecycle replacement and workplace services.
Innovation and progress underpin our behaviours. We foster a culture of lifelong learning, where curiosity and self-improvement are encouraged. Our four core values are at the heart of everything we do. They shape our culture and guide how we work, lead and grow together:
- Striving for excellence- We always aim to deliver great results
- Empowering through respect- We insist on fair treatment for all, always
- Acting with integrity- We consistently do the right thing
- Succeeding together- We rely on each other to achieve success
We are committed to representing the communities we serve by making Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) part of everything we do. Our strong emphasis on EDI is not just about driving inclusion across our organisation, it is also about ensuring our services meet the needs of government departments and the civil servants who use our spaces. To ensure that we are always recruiting and retaining a diverse mix of talent, we are particularly inviting applications from candidates who are disabled, ethnically or gender diverse, and people who identify as being part of the LGBTQ+ community.
Join our dynamic and diverse team that leads with purpose, improving sustainability, nurturing social value, driving inclusivity and flexibility, and kickstarting economic growth. We are driven by purpose, and you can be part of it too: where you make a meaningful impact; where you influence; where your voice really matters; where you help to shape our future direction.
We are looking for a dynamic, forward-thinking Marketing and Communications Manager to lead the marketing and communications activity for our high-profile property technology and interoperability programmes.
Interoperability places people at its core, and depends on standardised property technology, policies and processes that are underpinned by security, compliance, accessibility and adoption of new ways of working to successfully create a more effective, efficient and sustainable Civil Service office estate.
Work has progressed in areas of interoperability, such as the ongoing roll-out of products like GovPass, GovPrint and GovWifi, and addressing how government hubs can enable more successful cross-government collaboration. The Interoperability Programme brings all of these pieces together under one coordinated programme with a shared vision and direction.
Reporting to the Head of Marketing and Digital, the role of the Manager will act as a strategic business partner to our property technology and Interoperability Programme teams to develop and deliver communications plans. The plans will need to be led by SMART objectives, insight and strategy, and cover a range of audiences and communications disciplines.
You will sit within the corporate Marketing and Communications team, acting as the subject matter expert into this team for property technology and interoperability. You will be one of five Managers who each work closely to share insights and intelligence from their designated directorate, ensuring communication activities always align to a GPA-wide perspective.
Working closely with both the Property Technology and Interoperability Programme teams on a daily basis, you will also be instrumental in raising awareness across government of our products, services and future ways of working.
You will be responsible for translating complex information into compelling messages that resonate with diverse audiences. As well as driving the adoption of future ways of working that enable civil servants to work seamlessly across different locations and systems. You will also gather metrics and insight from our various channels to ensure all work is evidence based and shows continual learning to our senior leaders.

- Event management: Lead the end-to-end delivery of PropTech and Interoperability engagement events, such as supplier days, client briefings, and product demonstrations, to build the GPA's reputation as a digital innovator.
- Evaluation and insight: Gather metrics and user insights across our owned channels, providing evidence-based reports that demonstrate the effectiveness of communications and support continual learning.
- Integrated delivery: Work closely with Marketing and Communications colleagues to ensure activity is integrated into the relevant directorate and wider GPA corporate narrative and communications strategy.
