**Job summary**:
The Private Office and Ministerial Support and Parliamentary Team is one of the largest and most dynamic teams in DCMS involved in all aspects of departmental business. This role heads up one of four DCMS ministerial offices, and is responsible for supporting the Minister across their joint DCMS-DSIT brief. As a result it requires close working with colleagues in DSIT private office and the management of two DSIT members of staff.

The wider DCMS team includes the Private Offices of the Permanent Secretary, the Special Advisers and the two Directors General. In addition our support team handles all correspondence, FOIs and parliamentary business on behalf of the Department. Our team is crucial to the successful running of the Department - we are here to help our Ministers and senior officials deliver their priorities from Sports and Gambling to Media and Digital Infrastructure, and to support the Department in working with them.

PO/MSPT is part of the wider Corporate Strategy Directorate which leads on high priority and cross-cutting policy areas across the Department, including Secretary of State priorities, fiscal events, and corporate strategy. Minister Lopez’s office sits at the heart of two of the most exciting departments in Whitehall - the Departments for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) and Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT). While the role is recruited and held by DCMS, the post holder will oversee a broad brief across both departments covering Media, Creative Industries and Tourism (DCMS) and Digital Infrastructure and Data (DSIT).

**Job description**:

- Staying informed of current and emerging issues to provide advice and recommendations to the Minister, building and maintaining a strategic overview of priorities across their portfolio in DCMS and DSIT;
- Working with senior officials across departments and Whitehall on the development and implementation of policies;
- Representing and feeding back the Minister’s views at senior level meetings and in writing, and holding senior officials to account for delivering the Minister’s priorities;
- Ensuring the Minister’s office processes such as inbox and diary management are operating effectively, and that the Minister consistently receives an excellent service, iterating ways of working and delivery where necessary; and
- Management of a team of four, and contributing to corporate leadership of the wider Private Office and Ministerial and Parliamentary Support Team.

**Person specification**:
**Essential requirements**:

- Leadership, exceptional leadership skills and the ability to motivate and manage a team to deliver at pace on a challenging and complex agenda;
- Seeing the Bigger Picture, strong contextual awareness, staying informed of current and emerging issues to provide advice and recommendations to Ministers and an ability to think creatively and identify opportunities for new approaches to policy and delivery;
- Delivering at Pace, the ability to work at pace in a complex cross-departmental environment, driving progress in the face of a range of competing views and priorities and being calm and resilient in pressurised situations;
- Communicating and influencing, well-developed communication, networking and negotiation skills able to broker compromise and deliver in challenging situations;
- Experience of working with ministers, senior officials or other senior leaders, with the ability to get under the skin of their priorities and translate that into policy development.

**Desirable skills**:

- A working knowledge of, and networks across relevant DCMS and/or DSIT sectors.
- Experience working and negotiating between departments and across Whitehall.
