2 months ago


London, United Kingdom Department for Business and Trade - Digital, Data and Technology Full time

The newly created Department for Business and Trade brings together the business focused functions of the former Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) and the Department for International Trade (DIT). Our joint expertise in trade and business provides us with a unique opportunity to unleash the power of UK businesses, reform regulation to reduce burdens and unlock post-Brexit freedoms.

We are looking for Deputy Service Owners to join our team to ensure our platforms and services are successfully used across the department and delivering their intended benefits. You’ll look after one or more data, tech or digital platform or service and act as a critical point of connection between the Digital, Data and Technology (DDaT) function, the wider Department and stakeholders across HMG. You’ll report into a Service Owner with responsibility for a portfolio that your work forms part of. You’ll work as part of the teams delivering the platforms or services you’re working on and the rest of the service ownership team to shape, communicate and deliver against a vision. A big part of the role will involve helping stakeholders understand how the platforms and services you’re working on can support them to deliver the best outcomes for the UK economy, and making sure that the platforms and services continue to deliver against the department’s top priorities.

This role is available in three UK locations, including central London, Cardiff, and Darlington’s new economic hub. This role can only be worked from within the UK and not overseas. Most DBT employees will be working a hybrid pattern, spending 2-3 days a week (pro rata) in the office on average. Changes to these working arrangements are available in certain circumstances but must be agreed with the vacancy manager and in line with the requirements of the role. Travel to your primary office location will not be paid for by DBT, but costs for travel to an office which is not your main location will be covered.
