**About the job**:
**Job summary**:
The National Statistician is the expert adviser to the Government and the Authority Board on statistics and the head of the GSS.

- Promote best practice and compliance with the Code of Practice for Statistics (and its pillars of Trustworthiness, Quality and Value) across the ONS and the GSS.
- Embrace innovation and address shared challenges across the UK and internationally (e.g. data gaps, statistical coherence, and technological advancements). Chairing the Inter-Administration Committee to work collaboratively with the Devolved Governments to deliver statistics the nation needs to support decision-making and you will represent the UK on the international statistical stage to share best practice and support the global good of statistics.
- Hold membership of the Civil Service top leadership cadre and the opportunity for strong networks with other senior advisers working in Government and the Civil Service.

**Person specification**:

- A statistical expert with extensive professional knowledge and experience of statistics: you should be a credible and passionate advocate for statistics and have a proven track record of sound knowledge and experience in statistics and/or methodology and statistical research.
- Excellent analytical skills at the strategic level coupled with a strong intellect, with a track record and established profile as an authority and leader in the field of evidence and analysis, and a good understanding of the changing digital environment.

- Excellent communication skills, including the ability to explain and communicate the importance of statistics to a range of stakeholders including Parliamentarians, the media and the general public. Able to operate credibly on the international stage.
- Exceptional leadership and influencing skills, with a proven ability to manage complex, multi-stakeholder relationships and navigate potentially conflicting interests to gain confidence of ministers, Parliament, the public. This includes a track record o
