The UK Government is building one simple, secure way for people to sign in and prove who they are across all government services. Most people living in the UK will use it. You’ll join the Strategy, Policy and Engagement team, which sets the programme’s direction and works with partners across government.

Your main focus will be the GOV.UK Wallet, starting with the rollout of the digital driving licence.

• Write guidance and help answer policy questions
• Help teams get ready to go live
• Support new laws, strategies and policies for the service
• Gather and analyse evidence, then make clear recommendations
• Build trust with stakeholders and help remove blockers
• Write clear briefings and give advice to senior leaders

Key Skills:

• Experience shaping policy or strategy across government
• Skill in turning business needs into clear recommendations
• Ownership of your work, and the ability to spot and manage risks
• The ability to adapt quickly in a fast-paced setting
• Strong relationships with senior stakeholders
• An inclusive, supportive approach to leading and developing others
• Strong analytical skills, such as modelling, forecasting or scenario planning

This is an excellent opportunity to influence a major digital programme across government.
