A replacement debt recovery system is currently in discovery and we expect to begin transitioning customers from the existing debt recovery system to the new system in a couple of years’ time.

The wider Debt Programme is being delivered by multi-functional teams, in varying stages of development. They are often complex and provide DWP with capability to meet transformational objectives.

As part of your role, you will be playing a part in the Digital Debt Management programme defining product strategy, producing product artefacts, and establish product centric ways of working and best practices across both current and future debt solutions.

The successful candidate will have a strong background in:

• Understanding and translating the mission – You will need to understand the mission and communicate with teams and stakeholders how the problem you are solving contributes to achieving the aims of our service.
