**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.

- Supporting workstream leads to identify key outputs, milestones, monitor forecasts, progress, interactions and issues, helping to embed programme management and tools to support the Oflog programme and strategy.
- Providing liaison with the department over business support.
