WHO YOU ARE

The successful applicant will be a strong leader who has the ability to motivate and inspire a team and partners. You will be able to build and nurture relationships with a range of stakeholders and will have experience in managing complex, high profile projects. You will have an analytical mind, the ability to understand the story behind the data and the ability to present it in accessible formats. You will be committed to the principles of co-production and to the benefits of working in this way. In addition, you will have a thorough understanding of digital services and products and how to integrate these into service delivery.

So, if you’re excited about this role but your experience doesn’t align perfectly with the job description, we’d love you to apply anyway. You might just be the perfect person for this role.
