Job summary

This is an exciting opportunity to join the Benefits Realisation and Evaluation team, part of the Analytical Community in Building Digital UK (BDUK). BDUK is and Executive Agency of the Department of Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT). The BDUK analytical community is made up of two dozen analysts, who support the directorate through analysis, evaluation and modelling, forecasting and reporting to enable the effective investment of over �5 billion public funding of UK digital infrastructure. ​
