- engage with other departments and officials in local government, as well as a number of stakeholders in senior roles.

**Person specification**:
As a policy officer you’ll be:

- highly motivated and take ownership of your work;
- able to interact with multidisciplinary teams and ensuring the digital products are aligned with Ministers’ objectives;
- able to weigh up a range of evidence and options, including numerical data, and use sound judgement to form advice;
- able to form strong, effective working relationships with a range of stakeholders, and are comfortable working with stakeholders with a wide range of views;
- able to see the big picture and think strategically, whilst also having a keen eye for detail;
- able to verbally brief senior staff, write succinct and clear written briefings for Ministers, and draft public briefing lines;
- at ease with digital tools to support their work and keep others informed;
- comfortable with working at pace.
