**Job summary**:
The new Office for Local Government (Oflog) is a key priority of the Secretary of State. Oflog will help to drive improvement in local government - responsible for a wider range of critical and everyday services - in order to improve outcomes for the public. It will do this by providing authoritative and accessible data and analysis about the performance of local government, so that local leaders can benchmark themselves against their peers and communities can more effectively challenge their authorities.

Oflog is an office of DLUHC, meaning all staff are DLUHC civil servants. Ministers have agreed that it will have a degree of separation from government, with its own independent Chair and Chief Executive. Oflog is a mixed-discipline team, including policy and local government experts, and analysts from a range of disciplines. This is an exciting time for Oflog and we are looking for an energetic and insightful individual to join the team.

**Job description**:
This vacancy is to join the team leading on ensuring that Oflog’s Local Authority Data Explorer has a well-round, carefully curated, and accessible basket of measures that give a snapshot of how individual local authorities are performing.

The successful individual will lead on the financial metrics included in the Data Explorer. This will include both making sure that we have the right metrics to describe an individual authority’s financial performance; and working across the team on how the tool can illustrate what outcomes authorities get from the money they spend on particular services. The individual will come with a good understanding of the local government finance system, and this post will be an excellent opportunity to develop that knowledge further. As an integral part of the overall Data Explorer team, the individual may also lead on developing metrics on other service areas.

**Person specification**:

- A strong existing knowledge of the local government finance system. We understand that this is a large system covering government grant funding; local taxation; and spending across a range of services. Experience of all of these aspects is not essential - we are looking for a good foundation on which to build.
- Ability to creatively source evidence and develop policy solutions to complex situations where there could be competing interests or incomplete information.
- Excellent oral and written skills including the ability to communicate detailed information succinctly and clearly.
- Excellent stakeholder management skills and an ability to work collaboratively, build consensus and influence outcomes with external partners, as well as challenge senior stakeholders where necessary.
- Ability to build collaborative and trusted working relationships with a variety of internal partners.
- Track record of demonstrating resilience and flexibility under pressure with the ability to adapt to rapidly changing circumstances and balance competing demands whilst remaining focused on delivering high quality outputs.
- Strong organisational and management skills.
- Ability to make the connection between policy and the real-world situation, developing detailed targeted solutions to demonstrate impact.
- Ability to manage different workstreams with interdependencies, including delivering outcomes through others.
- An interest and, passion for local government and its role in making and difference to, and ensuring good outcomes for, people, place and partners, and an eagerness to help drive DLUHC’s delivery of Levelling Up.

Desirable experience:

- Experience of working on high profile and fast paced issues.
- Good knowledge and demonstrable understanding of the local government sector.
- Strong grasp of the potential of the data and digital environment.
