**Summary**:
Do you want to be part of an energetic, innovative team and bring your skills to one of the biggest changes to the administration of the Civil Service in decades? We’re looking for people who are flexible, intuitive and are comfortable taking high levels of volume, speed and complexity in their stride. A number of exciting new roles have come up in the newly formed **Synergy Programme**, a cross-departmental group formed in response to Government Business Service’s request for individual departments to group together in ‘clusters’ to drive efficiencies, increase buying power and improve the quality of shared service to our end users - our people.
The Synergy Programme is the largest of five departmental clusters, comprising the Ministry of Justice, Department for Work and Pensions, Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs and the Home Office. The Department of Work and Pensions hosts the Synergy Programme. Your work will impact the procurement arrangements for the next 15 years, impacting over 50% of all Civil Servants - that’s 230,000 people across the four departments and arm’s length bodies.
Success of the Programme is crucial as Civil Servants rely on shared services to provide business critical tools in human resources, finance, payroll and procurement. It affects everything we do, from joining a department as a new starter, the way we claim for expenses, how we buy goods and services such as our laptops and canteen provisions, how we make a claim for our expenses, to the way we receive our pensions when we retire.
**Job description**:
The scope of the role covers the processes and systems that manage the key Source to Contract procurement and contract management services through to Purchase to Pay (P2P). You will work closely with the Finance Product Manager, who is responsible for P2P, to develop a seamless Source to Pay design which aligns with aims of Government Commercial Function (GCF) and Government Finance Function (GFF).
Key Tasks Include:
- Develop and own the Synergy strategy for Software as a Service (SaaS) commercial product management from set-up through to go live and beyond. You will develop a common Synergy solution for ERP and BPS related aspects of commercial delivery.
- Develop and own a roadmap for the Synergy commercial product, ensuring Synergy maximises utility of the end-to-end commercial services and that they can be deployed safely into the four departments of Synergy. Working collaboratively and closely with teams within DWP, Home Office, MoJ, and Defra.
- Lead the Synergy Product team, acting as a Subject Matter Expert for the commercial function and working with HR and Finance product teams within Synergy and across government to align to ongoing continuous improvement programmes within departments.
- Ensuring plans and benefits are clear and new ways of working are embedded across the Synergy Programme in the commercial product space.
**Responsibilities**:
- Strong track record of successful leadership and delivery of large commercial projects, especially around source to contract and purchase to pay processes. **(Lead Criteria)**:
- Expert knowledge of commercial systems such as procurement, P2P, and contract management.
- Strong ability to influence and negotiate with a wide network of senior stakeholders, including across government or with external providers.
- A good knowledge of product management and change management processes and procedures in a transformational environment.
**Behaviours**:
We'll assess you against these behaviours during the selection process:
- Leadership
- Making Effective Decisions
- Changing and Improving
- Working Together
**Benefits**:
- Learning and development tailored to your role
- An environment with flexible working options
- A culture encouraging inclusion and diversity
- A Civil Service pension with an average employer contribution of 27%
