Job Description

Introduction: Michael Page has exclusively partnered with The Government Property Agency (GPA) to support their ongoing Data Transformation programmes. The newly created role of Data Analytics & Data Science Lead is pivotal to this strategy. The GPA is the largest property holder in government, with assets exceeding £2.1 billion and over 55% of the government's office estate. The GPA aims to transform civil service workspaces, lead major office programmes, reduce carbon emissions, and maximize value for taxpayers. We seek innovative, solutions-focused individuals to work on transformational initiatives like the Government Hubs Programme, Whitehall Campus Programme, and Net Zero Programme, alongside delivering modern, cost-effective real estate services. Innovation and progress are core to GPA's culture, which promotes lifelong learning, curiosity, and self-improvement.
