- Working with colleagues and stakeholders to create a culture of user centred and evidence-based service design and delivery, with teams actively involved in user research, and advocating for benefits of operating this way
- Managing the professional development of staff
- Engaging with colleagues across the organisation and across government to collaborate on user research and share relevant findings
- Contributing to the organisation and cross-government user research communities - including presenting at meetups, writing blog posts and leading on aspects of practice
