Job description

Overview

Within DDaT, Data Services & Analytics (DSA) is one of the most advanced data analytics centres in Government, driving the Home Office’s transformation into a data-driven department. DSA designs, builds, and operates critical services that support the department’s mission. In this role, you’ll lead on business-critical data analysis, matching, and insight products used across the Home Office. Success depends on leveraging cutting-edge technologies to deliver secure, resilient, world-class solutions. You’ll coordinate across multiple delivery teams to achieve business outcomes, managing risks, dependencies, and ensuring delivery to cost and quality standards. Rather than being embedded in a single team, you’ll work across teams, applying flexible delivery methodologies tailored to each project’s needs. Your experience in technology and digital environments will help drive continuous improvement and maximise team performance. A key responsibility is implementing governance mechanisms that complement existing processes, ensuring effective oversight of cross-cutting deliveries. You'll collaborate with stakeholders across the organisation, including policy leads and commercial, operational and technical colleagues to ensure successful delivery.

Responsibilities

• Coordinate delivery of technology outcomes across multiple teams, creating and maintaining realistic plans and keeping delivery on track within quality, cost, and time constraints. Remove blockers to success, managing stakeholders and engaging with governance as appropriate.
• Develop motivated, functioning teams, empowering collaboration and delivery while giving direction and constructive feedback. Monitor the profile and health of teams and work with them to resolve issues.
• Help teams to understand, prepare for and engage with governance, and monitor the completion of actions required following governance decisions.
• Ensure that risks are identified, and their impact and probability are understood. Ensure risks are mitigated, involving specialists where necessary.
• Identify and understand stakeholder groups and their needs. Develop stakeholder engagement strategies and plans and lead teams in executing them.
• Act as a routine contact point for suppliers involved in delivery. Monitor supplier performance and help to resolve problems with suppliers.
