Job description

Companies House is an executive agency of the Department for Business and Trade (DBT). We maintain the public register of companies for the UK and provide corporate transparency, making the public register available online, free of charge, allowing individuals and businesses to make effective decisions about engaging with a company.

We're currently delivering an organisation wide transformation programme to become a truly digital organisation; with all our systems and services to be digital first, easy to use and developed entirely around our users’ needs. This change will need different skills, capabilities and mindset where Adaptable, Bold and Curious behaviours are the norm and empowerment is encouraged and utilised.

This role will play a critical part in delivering this transformation. The role sits in the portfolio team, within the wider Transformation Delivery Directorate and requires close working with a range of colleagues from across Companies House. As a Portfolio Analyst you'll provide oversight of the Companies House Portfolio, manage the data within our PPM tool, and provide insight and analysis to enable effective portfolio management. The role involves coordinating reporting from projects and analysing the performance of the transformation programme and wider portfolio. The position will help identify and monitor portfolio risks (threats and opportunities) and escalate them as appropriate. The Portfolio Analyst will also ensure clear understanding of what is in the delivery plan and the dependencies across the Portfolio, engaging with colleagues to ensure consistent understanding and that a single version of the truth is being utilised.

Companies House offers a flexible and welcoming culture that promotes a healthy work life balance as well as a proactive approach to wellbeing that allows us to be our best at work. We recognise that people are the key to our success so offer a fantastic benefits package including flexible working with no core hours, 30 days annual leave, 8 bank holidays and 1 privilege day as well as enrolment into the Civil Service Pension scheme with a contribution rate averaging 28%.

We are accepting applications until Sunday 6th July 2025 (at 23:55).
