Summary
Whether advising on organisational design for complex immigration processes, guiding portfolio and programme delivery in law enforcement, or supporting common standards and tooling, your role is both varied and impactful. You will use established frameworks (such as Bizbok) to facilitate structured problem-solving, intentional design, and data-driven decision making, cultivating a holistic view across departmental silos.
Alongside a supportive architecture community, you will mentor others, share knowledge, and foster collaboration. If you thrive on tackling diverse, high-stakes challenges and enjoy shaping the bigger picture, this may be the perfect opportunity to leave your mark.
Due to business requirements this post is available on a full time/flexible working basis. Where business needs allow, some roles may be suitable for a combination of office and home-based working. Where this is the case, employees will be expected to spend a minimum of 60% of their working time in the office. Applicants can raise any queries to the email address at the bottom of the advert.
We value diversity and inclusion and welcome applications from the widest diversity of backgrounds, cultures, and experiences. We encourage applications from women, people with disabilities and LGBT+ as they are currently under-represented in the Home Office at this grade level. Appointments will be made on merit based on fair and open competition.
In this role, you’ll work at the intersection of business strategy and delivery, partnering with multidisciplinary teams to drive tangible outcomes that strengthen our public services and national security. You’ll draw on business architecture principles like capability mapping, process mapping, value streams, and operating model design to create a common language, enabling leaders and teams to spot gaps, opportunities, and interdependencies with ease.
Whether you’re developing long-term strategies, supporting portfolio decisions for transformative digital initiatives, or facilitating knowledge sharing within the architecture and business design community, your input will shape how the Home Office functions at every level.
On a typical day, you could be translating high-level policy goals into actionable design artefacts for a new service, collaborating with technical architects to keep business and technology in sync, or coaching a junior colleague through best practices in knowledgebase interrogation and management.
You’ll also have a hand in defining and maintaining the department’s architectural tooling, standards, and approaches ensuring decisions are consistently well-informed, user-centred, and forward-looking.
Ultimately, your ability to synthesise complexity, build consensus, and promote structured thinking will help deliver services that are more intuitive, integrated, and resilient - benefiting the public and advancing the Home Office’s overarching mission.
