We're seeking an exceptional Deputy Director eager for a new opportunity in the public sector.
In this position, you'll be responsible for guiding multiple multidisciplinary teams within a framework that emphasises professionalism and flexible resource allocation. Additionally, you will be tasked with planning, managing, and executing a major project, ensuring it is completed on schedule, within budget, and meets high-quality standards, thanks to your effective leadership and support of various teams.
As Deputy Director, you will develop, plan, and execute work outcomes, establishing clear objectives, milestones, and metrics for success. You will be accountable for negotiating and meeting budget and resource allocations.
Your responsibilities also include building and nurturing teams, ensuring effective scoping and clear assignment of duties.

You will oversee the entire spectrum of DDaT Commercial operations within Ofgem, including strategy, supplier and vendor management, contract oversight, performance tracking, and engagements with GDS and CCS, ensuring alignment with broader government initiatives like the Shared Services Strategy.

They should excel in leading diverse teams, have strong communication skills for dealing with various stakeholders, and proven ability in formulating and implementing digital commercial strategies.
