Summary
This is an incredibly exciting time to join the DDaT team at DCMS, as we strive to collaborate across the department to deliver secure, user-centred services that drive smarter working, innovation and efficiency. We are transforming DCMS to meet the demands of an agile, delivery-focused department leading on some of the highest priority work for the government’s agenda to drive growth, enrich lives and level-up society.
Our plans include critical investment in our corporate systems, ensuring they are fit for purpose and reducing the manual input required. Equally, there is ongoing development of the way the department delivers its policy outcomes via digital and data services, using AI where needed to maximise the value these can bring to users in the department or throughout the society we serve.
We want to transform how we solve policy challenges by having user centred design and collaboration within multi-disciplinary teams at the heart of what we do.
We are looking for an experienced Finance & Operations SEO to support the Digital, Data and Technology (DDaT) Directorate.
The post holder will provide a trusted, single point of contact between the Directorate, department corporate functions (including Finance and HR) and the business, developing a thorough understanding of the business to support delivery of departmental priorities and drive value-for-money thinking in all of our work.
Working closely with teams across the Directorate and with our Finance Business Partner, the post-holder will undertake day-to-day work to manage the Directorate’s budgets, including liaising with stakeholders, forecasting, and feeding into regular wider finance reporting and planning cycles, including Spending Reviews and Business Planning. You will liaise with the directorate and with HR on workforce forecasting and reporting. You will coordinate the directorate risk reporting process.
You will be expected to keep on top of emerging issues and priorities, translating these into action where required, and helping to drive good financial control and compliance across the directorate. You will be expected to be agile and adaptable in the work you deliver, willing to contribute as required to a small central team within the Directorate.
