Summary
The Public Sector Reform Test, Learn and Grow (PSR TL&G) team is at the heart of the UK government’s initiative to drive innovation and reform in public service delivery. With the £100 million PSR Innovation Fund, our team collaborates with local authorities and government departments across the United Kingdom and with the Devolved Governments to design, test, and grow innovative solutions that enhance public service outcomes. By employing a "Test & Learn" approach, we focus on creating evidence-based improvements while relieving pressures on public services. Our work involves piloting foundational programmes and place-based initiatives to accelerate mission delivery, support preventative measures, and foster a collaborative environment that encourages continuous improvement and innovation in public services.
A secondment with HMG offers a unique opportunity to work temporarily within the Civil Service, where you will remain an employee of your current organisation. This opportunity will allow you to develop some unique skills, but bring in specific knowledge and expertise, and work on projects that aim to deliver better public services for UK citizens. It is an immersive experience, providing you with new perspectives and the chance to contribute to significant and meaningful work. If you have confirmed with your employer that you are eligible for a secondment you'll be presented with a question in relation to this on your application form.
As Head of Product and Strategy you will work across our “Pioneers”—place-based projects with public sector partners to prototype solutions and policies aligned to government missions and public service reform priorities. You’ll ensure the effective end to end delivery of Pioneers and support projects leads in each Pioneer team with coaching and advice, ensuring we deliver innovations and learnings that are aligned to government priorities. Working across the TL&G team you’ll join up work across the Pioneers with our other workstreams and partnership functions.
This role is mapped to the Head of Product role in the Government Digital and Data framework. We’re looking for someone who can bring end-to-end strategic product management skills to a policy environment and is excited about working on the ground alongside place-based partners.
This role will require travel within the UK to work closely with local partners.
