**Job summary**:
The Covid Inquiry team leads DCMS’s engagement with the Covid-19 public inquiry. We work closely with a large legal team and the inquiry itself to ensure that DCMS can meet requests for information and evidence in a timely manner. We work across a variety of teams in the department to help them understand what the inquiry needs; to construct a clear understanding of what DCMS did throughout the pandemic; and to ensure that records are properly organised. We maintain close relationships with senior leaders as we produce detailed, accurate witness statements for public record. We are also building a comprehensive approach to witness support so that we can properly support anyone called to give oral evidence.

The key functions of the team include programme management and disclosure, ensuring that work is properly sequenced and handles the technicalities of our information and evidence management system. In addition, our policy priorities include building the evidence and narratives that form witness statements.

Sitting within the Project Delivery and Major Events directorate, we’re a close knit team located across multiple offices, including Manchester, and we work effectively with others across the directorate.

**Job description**:
This is an exciting opportunity to join a team working at the heart of the department's engagement with the largest, most complex public inquiry in the history of the UK. Managing two HEOs, you will play a vital role in coordinating the team’s response to evidence requests from the Covid-19 Public Inquiry. To do this you will work across four broad areas: using our cloud-based eDisclosure system you will ensure that information documenting the responses to the pandemic is properly maintained and can be deployed as necessary; you will manage the process for delivering evidence and witness statements; you will manage the process for supporting our own witnesses; and you will take a role in drafting witness statements and associated briefing.

This is a broad and varied portfolio which involves extensive engagement with our legal team, demands effective relationship-building with policy teams across the department and works across boundaries within the team to address changing priorities. This will mean matrix management of two other HEOs as necessary.

The Inquiry is a long-running project and the department's engagement varies in intensity. As time allows, you may also lead other priorities across the wider division and directorate.

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

- Strong communicator able to present written information clearly and concisely to a range of audiences
- Good leader who supports and challenges their team to deliver high quality work
- Detail-oriented manager who can organise delivery of complex pieces of work involving over a dozen different teams
- Comfortable with learning new skills, particularly technical (use of a complex eDisclosure platform is an essential part of the role)
- Clear and proven ability to deliver in fast paced environments, responding quickly and calmly as priorities change and as short deadlines are imposed.

**Desirable skills**:

- Have some understanding of how a public inquiry functions
