2 months ago


Bristol, Bristol, United Kingdom Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government Full time

Position Overview

The Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) is at the forefront of several key governmental initiatives, including housing strategy, homelessness reduction, local economic growth, urban regeneration, and building safety. We are in search of a dynamic Senior Executive Officer to guide the Department through critical negotiations with HM Treasury during the upcoming Spending Review and business planning phases.

The Strategic Finance team is a collaborative and high-achieving group situated within the esteemed MHCLG Finance Directorate, recognized as one of the most respected finance operations in Whitehall, consistently influencing key decision-making processes. Our team emphasizes professional development, offering numerous opportunities for personal and professional growth.

We play a pivotal role in advising ministers on budget allocation for emerging priorities while ensuring adequate funding for existing commitments. Our responsibilities include engaging in negotiations with HM Treasury during fiscal events and establishing the long-term financial strategy for the department.

This position is high-profile, involving substantial interaction with senior officials and external stakeholders. As we approach the Spending Review, the successful candidate will be instrumental in facilitating departmental efforts to achieve our objectives, which include enhancing funding mechanisms and supporting negotiations with HM Treasury.

Key Responsibilities

In this role, you will collaborate closely with central strategy, policy, and finance teams to synthesize complex financial information related to policy implications. You will provide strategic insights and constructive challenges, developing comprehensive guidance on the options and trade-offs that influence policy decisions. Your financial analyses will reflect an understanding of political contexts and the tangible impacts of our policies.

This role demands a proactive approach, as you will independently manage essential processes that directly inform the department's negotiations with the Treasury during the Spending Review and future fiscal events, such as the Spring Budget and Autumn Statement. You will need to deliver results efficiently, demonstrating flexibility and meticulous attention to detail. Additionally, you will gain deeper insights into public finance through participation in Treasury negotiations and by producing high-quality deliverables that effectively communicate data for informed discussions.

This position requires confidence and credibility when engaging with senior personnel across the department. Strong communication skills and the ability to cultivate trust are essential. Familiarity with spreadsheet tools is advantageous, and a willingness to learn is expected.

As we approach fiscal events or Spending Reviews, the pace of work intensifies. You will need to exhibit strong project management capabilities and establish processes to engage a diverse array of stakeholders. Resilience under pressure and adaptability are crucial attributes for success in this role.

Candidate Profile

The ideal candidate will possess the following qualifications:

  • Ability to work independently and efficiently under tight deadlines, managing multiple tasks proactively.
  • Proficient in analyzing and interpreting numerical data, clearly communicating its relevance to real-world outcomes and political considerations.
  • Skilled in producing high-quality outputs, particularly in Excel, to present complex financial information in an accessible manner for senior stakeholders.
  • Demonstrated strong communication and influencing abilities.
  • Experience in collaborative work and building networks across departments and governmental bodies.

Compensation and Benefits

In addition to a competitive salary, the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government offers substantial contributions towards membership in the Civil Service Defined Benefit Pension scheme, along with tailored learning and development opportunities, flexible working arrangements, and a culture that promotes inclusion and diversity.
