Information Manager in London

In the role of Information Manager, you will promote a strong culture of information management across HM Land Registry, advocating the importance of compliance with records management legislation and its role in supporting data protection and freedom of information requirements.

You will ensure the organisation maximises the use of SharePoint and MS Teams for capturing and managing corporate records, applying and automating retention policies, and overseeing the review and disposition of digital records to meet statutory obligations.

Designing and delivering training and awareness activities, both online and face‐to‐face, you will build staff capability and confidence in managing information securely and collaborating effectively. Working closely with stakeholders, the role will assess and migrate documents to SharePoint, review and improve policies and guidance, and manage processes for secure digital collaboration with external partners.

As Information Manager, you will lead on managing key information‐related risks, and maintain critical KIM SharePoint and Teams sites to ensure compliance with legislation and policy. In addition, the role will contribute to wider team objectives, represent HMLR in external professional networks, and maintain up‐to‐date knowledge of regulatory standards, best practice and emerging technologies, while following a programme of continual professional development.

Person specification

To be successful in this role you will have recent experience using SharePoint and Microsoft Teams to capture and manage corporate records, including designing and implementing new sites. You are confident engaging stakeholders at all levels and can devise and deliver learning and awareness programmes covering information management and information rights.

You understand information security requirements and the protection of digital information, and you have a track record of developing record management policy and undertaking compliance activities. You can advise senior managers on information‐related risks and the organisation of corporate information, bringing a strategic, flexible, service‐focused approach – able to deliver, develop and continuously enhance a high‐quality service.
