Length of employment: 24 Months

Location:

For this role you will be attached to one of our core locations in Newport, Fareham, London, or Darlington, where presence at one of these sites will form part of the working arrangements agreed during any offer made. We operate a hybrid working model that allows you to work between home and office locations giving you greater flexibility about where and when you work.

As part of this campaign there are two posts available:

Deputy Director, Legacy Reduction

Deputy Director, Business Statistics Change

All applications submitted will be considered against both available posts. Candidates have the option of providing a preference, but this cannot be guaranteed as roles will be offered on a merit basis. Full details of both roles can be found within the candidate pack.

Deputy Director, Legacy Reduction

Legacy transformation will focus on moving statistical data collection and production from legacy systems to strategic systems in line with the organisation’s overall technology strategy and to reduce technological debt. This is an ongoing programme with the focus over the next three years on the migration of business survey systems from the Ingres based Common Software systems to a new cloud-based Statistical Production platform.

Deputy Director, Business Statistics Change

This is a challenging and exciting opportunity to shape and deliver an area of high impact change and support the longer-term ambitions of ESEG and ONS.

Business Statistics Transformation is a key ambition for our ongoing transformation across the Economic Social and Environmental Statistics Group (ESEG) at ONS. It forms part of the wider ARIES transformation programme to deliver quality improvements to our core statistics by exploiting new and innovative methodology and sources of data. In particular, Business Statistics Transformation aims to deliver significant quality improvements to our business statistics via a more coherent, themed and digital set of business surveys and by transitioning data collection and statistics production onto new strategic platforms away from legacy infrastructure.

The role of the Business Statistics Transformation (BST) Project Executive is to lead the project and manage the project team on a day-to-day basis, and to ensure that outcomes are delivered within the existing time, cost and quality constraints. The Project Executive is accountable to, and line managed by the Senior Responsible Owner (SRO) of the ARIES programme.
