Lead a team to shape the Treasury's vision and strategy, drive decision-making, and promote responsible public spending.
HM Treasury is a government department that plays a crucial role in shaping the UK's economic future. As a key part of the Treasury's Executive Management Board, you will work closely with senior colleagues to develop and implement the department's strategy, performance, and risk management.
The Strategy, Planning & Change (SPC) team is a small, dynamic group of officials who support the Treasury's Executive Management Board and Ministers on departmental strategy, performance, and risk. We are passionate about helping our people thrive and building an encouraging and friendly team.
As a joint head of the SPC team, you will be responsible for:
* Supporting the Executive Board in shaping, refreshing, and communicating the Treasury's vision and strategy for the department.
* Leading thinking on how the Treasury should best deploy its people to meet Ministers' priorities through the annual business planning round.
* Leading the Treasury's risk and performance monitoring and improving our thinking on long-term risks and future challenges.
* Developing the Treasury's objectives with Ministers, including how we contribute to the new government's five missions.
* Leading the organisation's response to major events, such as briefing new Ministers on the Treasury and its priorities.
* Promoting innovation and creativity in policy thinking and leading a thriving network of colleagues to promote challenge and improve how we draw on outside perspectives and expertise.
* Providing resilience across the full range of team responsibilities and working flexibly with the other joint head.
