The Opportunity

We have an exciting opportunity for a Transforming Management Office (TMO) Officer supporting the Transforming Digital Programme.  Working closely with colleagues of the TMO supporting key processes that enable effective oversight and delivery of programme activity.  You will be responsible for:

  • continuous improvement and maintenance of the TD Programme onboarding and offboarding processes,
  • work with the TMO Analyst to support maintenance of the programme’s RAID management processes and RAID records
  • support the compliant management of programme finances to ensure that the programme provides relevant & necessary financial information & assurance

What You Need

To be successful in the role the ideal applicant will have:

  • excellent verbal and written communication skills with experience of presenting complex information to all levels of stakeholders, using Excel and other Microsoft products
  • proven providing administrative support to an individual or a team with the ability to prioritise, to meet deadlines and take full responsibility for quality and timescales of own work
  • experience of proactive problem solving and attention to detail with a systematic, disciplined, and analytical approach
  • the ability to anticipate opportunities and identify issues and to take action for the benefit of an organisation / team / project

About The Team

The Transforming Digital Programme is a Parliament-wide programme that will fundamentally change the way Parliament works with digital, enabling Parliament to:

  • Meet rising customer needs of Members, Members' staff and House staff for better digital services
  • Keep pace with digital developments and advances in technology.

To achieve this, Transforming Digital will overhaul Parliament's existing digital processes, operating model and capability, in a series of delivery tranches from October 2021 up to 2024. Without doing this, the gap between expectation and reality will grow wider, and Parliament’s year-on-year cost of digital services will increase.
