Summary

The DVSA Digital & Data Hub is at a pivotal moment of transformation, building strong digital foundations and capability across the organisation. As we scale our team and invest in digital services, governance, and business partnering, we’re looking for colleagues who can help shape the future of DVSA’s digital landscape.

This role will sit at the heart of our growing Digital Hub – an area focused on driving strategic alignment, improving digital delivery, and raising digital maturity across DVSA. Whether improving how we recruit and support talent, embedding smarter workforce and programme governance, or strengthening our business partnering capability, you’ll play a key role in building the infrastructure that enables DVSA to deliver high-quality, evidence-based services.

You’ll work collaboratively with colleagues across Driver, Vehicle, Enforcement and Common Services portfolios, supporting DVSA’s ambition to be a more agile, data-informed and digitally confident organisation. As we embed a new operating model, we’re looking for people who are adaptable, delivery-focused, and motivated to build a modern, inclusive digital culture.

As a Digital and Data Business Partner, you will be the critical link between our internal business areas and the wider Digital & Data function. Your mission is to translate business needs into meaningful digital outcomes, influence strategic direction, and help operational leaders visualise what’s possible.

Sitting in the Digital & Data Hub, you’ll bring the right mix of strategic insight, technical curiosity, and people-centred leadership. This is a role for someone who thrives in complexity, acts with quiet authority, and sets the gold standard for collaborative delivery. You’ll work directly with senior leaders, service managers, product owners, and external stakeholders to drive meaningful digital change.

You’ll act as a trusted adviser, helping shape roadmaps and service strategies, while also spotting the opportunities to reduce risk, improve service performance, and build lasting digital capability across DVSA.
