Business and Technical Lead - 2 Month Contract | £550 - £650 a day (outside IR35) | Full time – 3-4 days on-site – Westminster


I am currently recruiting for a Technical and Business Lead for a 2-month contract working for the Department for Business and Trade.


The government is tasked the Government Chief Scientific Adviser (GCSA) and the National Technology Adviser (NTA) to lead a review of barriers to the adoption of transformative technologies that could enhance productivity, with a focus on the growth-driving sectors identified in the Industrial Strategy green paper.


As the Technical and Business Lead you will bring your experience and knowledge to bear on how policy recommendation might apply to different technologies as well as in in the context of sector, business size and business location. You will work to ensure recommendations are workable and useful to businesses, with a focus on medium sized businesses. It is vital that these policy recommendations are respectful of the heterogeneity of the UK’s high growth sectors, while also being scalable at the regional and national level.


The review will identify the barriers businesses face when adopting both established and novel technologies, building from existing analysis, industry insights, and the forthcoming AI Opportunities Action Plan. It will also provide practical recommendations on how the government can work with businesses to address these obstacles.


Working in a team that embodies this government’s vision of an agile, silo breaking civil service with a ‘start-up’ mentality. They have a flat structure and task orientated approach where our people collaborate on every challenge bringing their diverse experience and skills to bear.

As the team moves now into synthesising the evidence and developing policy recommendations, this role will provide “SME” with tech adoption, ideally with past experience of policy programme design and/or advising individual firms or tech adoption.


Key skills:

  • Good tech knowledge is desirable (from enterprise software, to photonics)
  • Business knowledge and economic analysis
  • Strong programme/policy design experience
  • Business tech advisory experience is highly desirable;
  • Experience of one of the 8 high growth sectors of the industrial strategy (advanced manufacturing or PBS is desirable
  • Knowledge of digital and hardware where adoption lags among some firms.
  • Ability to work at pace and resilient,
