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 transformational programmes such as the Government Hubs Programme, Whitehall Campus Programme, and Net Zero Programme, as well as delivering modern, cost-effective real estate service solutions.

Innovation and progress are at the heart of our behaviours. We foster a culture of lifelong learning, where curiosity and self-improvement are encouraged. We are dedicated to becoming a leading, inclusive employer both externally and within the Civil Service. Our strong emphasis on Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) aims to ensure our services meet the needs of government departments and civil servants.

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 your voice matters; where you help shape our future.

The GPA is committed to representing the communities we serve by integrating Diversity, Equality, and Inclusion into everything we do. We particularly invite applications from candidates who are disabled, ethnically or gender diverse, and those who identify as LGBTQ+.

Are you ready to play a pivotal role in shaping our collaboration with suppliers, partners, clients, and customers? We are seeking an experienced and forward-thinking Senior Business Analyst to lead the implementation of Microsoft 365 and migration from Google Workspace. This role will also lead the deployment of Generative AI and Agentic AI capabilities using Microsoft Co-pilot and Microsoft Co-pilot Studio, empowering users with intelligent automation and integration with platforms like Salesforce, ServiceNow, and Dynamics 365. Responsibilities include implementing Microsoft Power Platform for low-code solutions, deploying Microsoft Purview for data governance, Microsoft Defender for security, and Microsoft Sentinel for SIEM/SOC capabilities. The role involves gathering business requirements, analyzing processes, and ensuring a smooth migration aligned with business goals.
