Job summary
Almost every individual and business in the UK is a direct customer of HMRC, as we collect the money that pays for the UK's public services and gives people who need it vital financial support.

With these demands in mind, and as one of the largest and most digitally focussed organisations in the UK, we are undergoing a thrilling change programme. Our team of 4,000 digital experts is undertaking one of the biggest digital and technology transformations in Europe, as we drive towards a high performing landscape of cutting-edge technology. This includes several key strategic priorities, including real-time transactional information and a single customer account, enabling customers to access all their data and undertake all their interactions with HMRC in one place.
Job description

  • Oversee the performance of platforms, ensuring quality and efficiency of delivery.
  • Lead continuous service improvement, to ensure platforms continue to meet business requirements, to encourage continuous innovation and agile ways of working.
  • Provide excellent leadership to a team of c.70. Coach and develop platform owners and service management teams to support excellent delivery.

Person specification
  • Technical knowledge of SAP ECC6 and more modern competitive technologies, alongside experience of developing, delivering against and operating at a senior level within complex national organization.
  • Skilled in setting a strategic forward vision for a large, complex organisation with strong platform and delivery expertise, anticipating the long-term impact of technological development on the organisation and working collaboratively with diverse stakeholders, managed service providers, and complex supplier ecosystems to deliver end-to-end digital services.
  • Proven experience of managing critical national infrastructure IT services and change programmes within a large, complex organisation.
  • Demonstrable expertise and knowledge of commercial capability and oversight for enabling effective and mature third-party partnerships and services.
  • Excellent communication and influencing skills and experience of building effective partnerships across a range of internal and external stakeholders.
  • Inclusive leadership skills with the ability to lead people and teams through change in a complex operational environment, advocating professional development of a diverse and talented workforce and nurturing high performance of teams.
