Summary
We are transforming the way the Civil Service works by creating great places to work, leading the largest commercial office programme in the UK, working towards halving carbon emissions from government offices, and achieving greater value for taxpayers. And we are looking for innovative, solutions-focused people to join our team.
Representing the best covenant in the UK – His Majesty’s Government – we are leading significant transformational programmes such as the Government Hubs Programme, Whitehall Campus Programme and Net Zero Programme. We are also delivering cost- effective property services such as asset management, lifecycle replacement and workplace services.
Innovation and progress underpin our behaviours. We foster a culture of lifelong learning, where curiosity and self-improvement are encouraged. Our four core values are at the heart of everything we do. They shape our culture and guide how we work, lead and grow together:
- Striving for excellence- We always aim to deliver great results
- Empowering through respect- We insist on fair treatment for all, always
- Acting with integrity- We consistently do the right thing
- Succeeding together- We rely on each other to achieve success
We are committed to representing the communities we serve by making Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) part of everything we do. Our strong emphasis on EDI is not just about driving inclusion across our organisation, it is also about ensuring our services meet the needs of government departments and the civil servants who use our spaces. To ensure that we are always recruiting and retaining a diverse mix of talent, we are particularly inviting applications from candidates who are disabled, ethnically or gender diverse, and people who identify as being part of the LGBTQ+ community.
Join our dynamic and diverse team that leads with purpose, improving sustainability, nurturing social value, driving inclusivity and flexibility, and kickstarting economic growth.
We are driven by purpose, and you can be part of it too: where you make a meaningful impact; where you influence; where your voice really matters; where you help to shape our future direction.
The successful candidate will be responsible for Business Analyst activities for the cross-government Interoperability programme, enabling and supporting Civil Servants to work across departments when needed.
Interoperability is about people, but it depends on platforms of standardised property technology, policies and processes to ensure security and compliance and new ways of working to ensure that together, we run a more effective, efficient and sustainable Civil Service office estate.
Work has progressed in areas of interoperability, such as the ongoing roll-out of Property Technology such as GovPass, GovPrint and GovWifi and addressing how government campuses will work together. The Interoperability Programme brings all these pieces together under one coordinated programme with a shared vision and direction.
Collaborating across government departments to understand and analyse business needs will be key to the success of the programme and so the successful candidate will need to have strong stakeholder management, communication and analysis skills.
Key Responsibilities:
Requirement gathering: Work with cross-government and internal stakeholders to drive the research and gathering of business requirements, assessing their value and prioritising them in the context of programme objectives and planning for delivery.
Process Modelling: Apply appropriate tools and techniques to map 'As-Is' and ‘To-Be' business processes. Utilise models that support decision-making, design assurance, and planning.
Gap analysis: Evaluate requirements against the present state (where we are) and the target state (where we want to be), identifying cross-workstream gaps, dependencies, and opportunities to inform planning, risk management, and delivery sequencing.
Impact analysis: Analyse the organisational, operational, financial, and technical implications of proposed changes, providing insight into the scope, risks, and interdependencies for programme-level planning and delivery.
Benefit analysis: Support the identification, tracking, and assurance of programme-level benefits, ensuring alignment to outcomes and advising on business-related actions to maximise value realisation.
Stakeholder management and engagement: Engage with senior stakeholders, business owners, change leads and users to ensure alignment, resolve dependencies, and maintain a shared understanding of programme priorities and objectives.
Facilitation: Plan and facilitate workshops, governance sessions, and collaborative forums with stakeholders to clarify needs, resolve issues, and support decision-making across the programme.
Business solution design: Contribute to programme-level solution design, ensuring that business systems, workflows, and processes support the programme target operating model, policy intent, and integrated service delivery.
