- Product and Technical Leadership
- Coordination and management of the product backlog
- Technical support for councils via Slack and Technical Drop-ins
- Development of new features
- Release management for core products (LocalGov Drupal and LocalGov Microsites)

- Marketing and communication to potential new councils, suppliers and supporting partners and account management

Supporting Partners need to:
- provide councils with the features and flexibility to meet user needs
- be backed by excellent customer service and documentation
- be fairly priced, and straightforward to start using
- provide comprehensive APIs as standard, not as an add-on
- adhere to the GOV.UK technology code of practice
