What you’ll be doing

Do you want to play a pivotal role in shaping how information underpins one of the UK’s most complex, historic and high profile estates?

From setting strategy and governance standards, to overseeing the Common Data Environment and championing best practice such as ISO 19650, your work will be central to how Parliament manages, protects and uses its estate information. Working closely with colleagues across Strategic Estates, Parliamentary Digital Service and external partners, you’ll act as a trusted adviser and thought leader on digital estates capability. This is a high impact role offering the opportunity to influence culture, drive continuous improvement and ensure that information is treated as a critical asset across an internationally significant estate.
