Job description

The Government Property Agency is the largest property holder in government, with more than £2.1 billion in property assets and over 55% of the government’s office estate.

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. 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 also deliver 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

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.

The GPA is committed to representing the communities we serve by making Diversity, Equality, and Inclusion part of everything we do.

We particularly invite applications from candidates who are disabled, ethnically or gender diverse, and people who identify as part of the LGBTQ+ community, to ensure a diverse talent pool.

GPA’s Capital Projects team delivers major construction and change projects on behalf of the Agency under two main programmes: the Government Hubs Programme and the Whitehall Campus Programme.

This role supports the Government's agenda to level up regions by relocating 22,000 Civil Servant roles out of London under the Places for Growth initiative. The Information Management Lead will ensure all involved in Capital Projects follow the correct standards for buildings’ information management from design to operation. The role involves developing, implementing, and reviewing information management processes and governance, including strategy and compliance with statutory obligations.

The role ensures best practices in the acquisition, management, and organization of information within Capital Projects, facilitating access and maximizing information reuse.

Key Responsibilities

The responsibilities include:

• Leading the development and implementation of information management governance and strategy for the GPA Capital Projects, managing a small team.
• Managing the information lifecycle in systems, ensuring policies are followed.
• Championing the corporate platform as the primary Records Management tool.
• Demonstrating systems and processes to stakeholders, engaging to improve workflows and meet legal obligations.
• Using strategic thinking to resolve operational issues while maintaining strategic goals.
• Supporting an environment where colleagues can initiate change and add value.
• Understanding information processing and its relationship to other assets and digital continuity.
• Adhering to policy and legislation on information sharing, advising on information flow with external parties.
• Managing corporate collaboration and document storage, improving user experience through engagement.
• Managing the disposal of non-record information according to retention policies.
