Intermediaries play an increasingly important role in tax administration, supporting compliance, customer experience, and efficiency. This is recognised in HMRC's Tax Administration Strategy, which sets out a growing role for intermediaries. The Intermediaries Directorate will enable us to shape and drive the delivery of HMRC's Intermediaries Strategy. This includes standards to ensure high levels of trust in intermediaries and the tax ecosystem. This is an exciting opportunity to join the Software Strategy & Policy team within the Intermediaries Directorate. We're looking for an enthusiastic individual to join our small, friendly team. If you have good organisational, analytical, and communication skills, we'd love to hear from you. The Software Strategy & Policy Team enables third-party software providers to work with HMRC on delivering its strategic objectives. We're a cross-cutting team, working across HMRC, wider government, industry, and with representative bodies to ensure the strategic development of tax software. Our ideal candidate will be someone with knowledge and experience of policy or strategy delivery within the Civil Service or allied fields. The Senior Strategy & Policy Advisors responsibilities will vary, but will include leading or actively participating in policy and strategy projects, drafting or coordinating briefings, correspondence, submissions, explanatory notes, and guidance products, and supporting the delivery of the Strategic Software Forum. The role requires a confident and self-motivated individual who can navigate a fast-paced environment, build strong relationships with senior stakeholders, and effectively manage competing priorities. Our ideal candidate will have ability to build and maintain effective relationships with a diverse range of internal and external stakeholders, strong analytical skills, excellent written and verbal communication skills, a clear understanding of how individual tasks contribute to broader organisational objectives, and a proven track record to manage projects effectively.
