**Job summary**:

- Do you want to be part of an energetic, innovative team and bring your skills to one of the biggest changes to the administration of the Civil Service in decades?
- We’re looking for people who are flexible, intuitive and are comfortable taking high levels of volume, speed and complexity in their stride.
- A number of exciting new roles have come up in the newly formed Synergy Programme, a cross-departmental group formed in response to Government Business Service’s request for individual departments to group together in ‘clusters’ to drive efficiencies, increase buying power and improve the quality of shared service to our end users - our people.
- The Synergy Programme is the largest of five departmental clusters, comprising the Ministry of Justice, Department for Work and Pensions, Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs and the Home Office. The Department of Work and Pensions hosts the Synergy Programme. Your work will impact the procurement arrangements for the next 15 years, impacting over 50% of all Civil Servants - that’s 230,000 people across the four departments and arm’s length bodies.
- Success of the Programme is crucial as Civil Servants rely on shared services to provide business critical tools in human resources, finance, payroll and procurement. It affects everything we do, from joining a department as a new starter, the way we claim for expenses, how we buy goods and services such as our laptops and canteen provisions, to the way we receive our pensions when we retire.-
**Job description**:
The UK government has pledged to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions to net zero by 2050. This has been underpinned by statutory change. Government sustainability commitments in public services are set out in the Greening Government Commitments and Greening government: ICT and digital services strategy

Sustainability is at the core of the Synergy approach, from how we select the Enterprise Resource Platform (ERP) partners we choose to work with to the technology and business design principles we adopt, and in due course the services we rollout. We are currently undertaking a procurement exercise to select ERP and Systems Integrator partners who shares our sustainability ambitions, and will help us design and deliver sustainable services, underpinned by sustainable technologies within a culture that values and prioritises sustainability. This includes:

- Committing to a rapid transition to sustainable business practices
- Commitment to meet net zero by 2050 (or sooner)
- Being as resilient as possible to the impacts of climate change
- Committing to ‘Circular ICT’ policies and strategies and to enable the Synergy Programme to meet the HMG commitment to deliver 0% to landfill with an annual increase in reuse and materials recycled
- Having effective waste management processes for all waste types
- Working towards 100% renewable energy and / or carbon neutral suppliers, and to measuring and reducing water consumption
- Approach to championing biodiversity and nature positive practices
- Meeting transparency and accountability commitments
- Committing to a roadmap of sustainability improvements

Sustainability is an integral part of how we intend to work, but like most organisations, we are maturing our understanding with respect to sustainability stewardship. This is a unique opportunity to deploy your green credentials, at the forefront of government’s shared services strategy, and in an environment that can be sector defining.

This role is a key element of us maturing our approach to sustainability. The role holder will drive forward the programme’s sustainability direction. They will work closely with other key stakeholders across the government community to leverage work already done, and ensure effective data, roadmaps and partnerships to enable the change required. The role holder will ensure the Synergy Programme achieves its strategic sustainability goals and objectives for the government departments within the Synergy cluster

Key responsibilities
- Play an active role in the cross-government community to further the sustainability agenda
- Build a measurable view of the benefits attained from sustainability improvements to feed into the Synergy current and future business case
- Define a clear roadmap and trajectory for step changes in shared s
