Are you excited by the world of digital technology, AI, and the opportunities they provide for UK growth and productivity? If so, this could be the role for you!
About the Team
Science, innovation and digital technology transform how we live and work. This brings new opportunities to unlock economic growth, improve productivity and create high skilled jobs. The Science, Technology & Access to Finance (STAF) team advises on how the UK can make the most of this opportunity.
This role sits within the team’s Digital Technology Unit, which is responsible for HM Treasury’s strategy for the digital technology sector and leads on exciting areas such as Artificial Intelligence (AI).
About the Job
This is an exciting and fast paced role that is central to how the government responds to the opportunities and risks posed by AI, alongside how we support the growth of the tech sector.
A key priority for Ministers is boosting UK growth and productivity and increasing business investment. Working with other members of the Unit, you will be responsible for developing the strategy for how the UK’s tech sector and strengths in AI can contribute to these objectives.
Key accountabilities of the role are:
1. Lead Treasury strategy for the digital economy
2. Strategic Oversight on Digital Regulation
3. Lead on Fiscal Events and Tech Spending
4. Lead HM Treasury’s relationship with the tech sector
5. Management and Leadership
It is an exciting time to join the team to work on a range of high-profile topics, ahead of the next Spending Review. Maximising the growth and productivity benefits of AI and digital tech are key priorities of the Chancellor and the Prime Minister. The Unit therefore works on some of the most topical policy questions and you should expect to receive lots of senior exposure and be stretched.
About You
We’re looking for someone who is excited by this policy area, and who is willing to get stuck-in to drive forward workstreams that will meet Ministerial priorities for growth and productivity.
As a team, we work very flexibly, sharing-out and redistributing work to manage the workload and promote a healthy work-life balance; you should be happy working collaboratively with a tight-knit team, who can quickly adjust to new priorities.
Some of the Benefits our people love!
25 days annual leave (rising to 30 after 5 years), plus 8 public holidays and the King’s birthday (unless you have a legacy arrangement as an existing Civil Servant). Additionally, we operate flexitime systems, allowing employees to take up to an additional 2 days off each month
Flexible working patterns (part-time, job-share, condensed hours)
Generous parental and adoption leave packages
Access to a generous Defined Benefit pension scheme with employer contributions of 28%
Access to a cycle-to-work salary sacrifice scheme and season ticket advances
A range of active staff networks, based around interests (e.g. analysts, music society, sports and social club) and diversity
