- Supporting the CEO in building a strong executive and senior leadership team. Promoting effective working between executives and non-executives supporting the development of a high performing board team.
- Establishing and developing effective cross Government stakeholder relationships to drive collaboration on cross cutting projects, ensuring DVLA strategic priorities are taken into consideration and achieve shared goals.
- Overseeing the development of high-quality briefings, communications, and reports for CEO and key stakeholders. Coordinating the delivery of corporate strategies and business plans.
