The Synergy Programme is a change programme covering the UK's biggest government departments; Ministry of Justice, Department for Work and Pensions, Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs and the Home Office.
Your work will impact the procurement arrangements for Enterprise Resource Platform (ERP) and Business Process Services for the next 15 years, impacting over 50% of all Civil Servants - that's 230,000 people across the four departments and arm's length bodies.
We're working to make sure that we get the best value, most efficient and fastest service across business-critical human resources, finance, payroll and procurement tools and transactions.
Your work will affect everything we do, from joining a department as a new starter, the way we claim for expenses, how we buy goods and services such as our laptops and canteen provisions, to the way we receive our pensions when we retire.
We have 3 roles available, working on different teams:
Future Shared Services Organisation (FSSO): You'll work on designing and delivering the future state for our Shared Services products and services. This is what Shared Services will look like once the Synergy Programme achieves it's goals and once we're into live running.

Enterprise Resource Platform (ERP): You'll be helping us deliver Finance process convergence and the design, testing and deployment of the new Synergy ERP system and related services. Previous experience of implementing a new ERP is important for this role.
We need people who can streamline procurement to drive out error, waste and duplication, who are good with stakeholders and managing change.
We're particularly interested in applications if you have experience of ERP, BPS or FSSO implementations.
