We are looking for a Placemaking Account Manager to support the successful delivery of Plunkett UK’s placemaking work, and actively help shape the community infrastructure and services from new developments.
The Placemaking Account Manager will play a key role in supporting the successful delivery of Plunkett UK’s placemaking work – a new strand of Plunkett’s support service which focuses on working with house builders, planners, local authorities, and the communities themselves, to actively help shape the community infrastructure and services from new developments.
Our approach prioritises early community engagement, partnership working and the creation of community-owned assets and services that can bring meaningful long-term benefits within a locality.
The role will work closely with strategic partners, communities, and the internal Plunkett placemaking team, to ensure projects are well‑coordinated, partnerships are effectively managed, and community engagement is timely, inclusive, and impactful.
The postholder will provide practical coordination and relationship‑management support across multiple projects, helping to turn shared commitments into action, supporting early‑stage research and stakeholder engagement, and ensuring plans, communications and project support are delivered efficiently and professionally.
The successful candidate should have the following knowledge, experience, skills and attributes:
We are committed to Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) and our approach goes beyond ‘protected characteristics’ to thinking more broadly about inclusion. Every individual will think and feel differently and we believe that these differences should be embraced, and individual needs taken into account. Additionally, the makeup of the rural communities we work with leads to their own particular diversity and exclusion challenges and opportunities compared to urban areas. Our commitment to EDI, both internally and externally, has been tailored to Plunkett and the communities we serve.
We ask that you complete a diversity monitoring form in order to monitor the effectiveness of our policies. The completion of this form is voluntary.
