We’re recruiting for a Strategy Hub Engagement and Portfolio Officer here at Justice Digital, Data and Science to be part of our warm and collaborative PMO & Data Strategy Hub team.

This role will support the Strategy Hub Portfolio and Alignment Lead in maintaining a clear view of priorities, dependencies, risks, actions and engagement across the Directorate.

The postholder will work closely with the SEO Portfolio and Alignment Lead, Head of Strategy Hub, PMO colleagues, G6 strategy and hub leads and other stakeholders to support a joined‑up strategic‑delivery system. They will help coordinate the rhythms, evidence and artefacts that allow strategic conversations to be better prepared, better recorded and easier to act upon.

This is a practical and varied role for someone who is organised, confident working with information and comfortable engaging with people across different teams. It requires someone who can turn discussion into clear actions, support the development of concise briefings and help maintain shared artefacts without adding unnecessary process burden. The role will not act as a delivery authority or central gatekeeper.

Instead, it will provide enabling support that helps the Strategy Hub operate with credibility, pace and consistency.

This role offers the opportunity to help shape how the Data Directorate improves strategic coherence, supports prioritisation and connects delivery activity to organisational outcomes. You will work close to senior strategic conversations while developing strong experience in portfolio support, stakeholder engagement, governance preparation, strategic communications and evidence‑led decision‑making.

It is a strong opportunity for someone looking to build their experience in strategy, transformation, PMO or portfolio environments within a complex and mission‑driven public sector setting. You will play an important enabling role in helping the Strategy Hub operate as a trusted, practical and useful function that supports better Justice outcomes.

You’ll receive a range of excellent benefits when you join our department, including:

• A generous employer pension contribution of 28.97% through the Civil Service Pension Scheme.
• 25 days of annual leave, (increasing to 30 days once you have reached 5 years of service),
  plus 8 bank holidays and a privilege day for the King’s birthday
  .
• Flexible working arrangements including hybrid working, working part time or compressed hours. Designed to support a positive work‑life balance.

• Employees are allocated 10% of their working time for personal and professional development.
• A £1k per person learning budget is in place to support all our people, with access to best‑in‑class conferences and seminars, accreditation with professional bodies, fully funded vocational programmes and e‑learning platforms.
• Compassionate maternity, adoption, and shared parental leave policies, with up to 26 weeks leave at full pay, 13 weeks with partial pay, and 13 weeks further leave. And maternity support/paternity leave at full pay for 2 weeks, too!
