Summary
This role sits within the Hub’s capability function and is focused on enabling teams to deliver well. You’ll lead the development of tools, templates, and ways of working that help DVSA’s digital professionals do their jobs effectively—from the moment they’re hired to the point they’re embedded and thriving in role.
Whether it’s supporting onboarding, improving induction and training pathways, or simplifying access to delivery standards, you’ll make sure our people have what they need to succeed. This is a role for someone who understands digital delivery—but also knows how to bring structure, reduce friction, and help others grow in confidence.
If you enjoy making systems work better for people, and want to be part of a collaborative, delivery-focused team—we’d love to hear from you.
The Senior Digital Capability Manager will lead the day-to-day development of DVSA’s digital workforce support offer. You’ll work closely with the Head of Digital & Data Hub, alongside delivery managers, product owners, and governance leads, to shape and embed tools that improve how our digital colleagues are onboarded, supported, and enabled to deliver.
You’ll be expected to lead and influence across teams—building repeatable models, removing blockers, and advocating for high-quality digital practice.
