JOB SUMMARY
The Department for Business and Trade is at the heart of delivering the UK’s mission for growth, through supporting UK business and driving the government’s international trade agenda. DBT brings together policy, promotion, and financial expertise to break down barriers to trade and investment in markets across the world to help businesses succeed. DBT operates a broad portfolio of grants with a lifetime budget of over £30bn.
These schemes support many of the department’s priority industries and sectors. Delivery responsibility is currently split between different teams across the department. To ensure we deliver our portfolio of grants as efficiently and effectively as possible we have established the Grant Delivery Directorate (GDD), a centre of excellence for grant and funding delivery within the department and are in the process of transferring delivery of all grant and other financial schemes that support business into this team.
GDD works closely with colleagues from policy, finance, analysis and legal, as well as industry experts, to award and monitor grants across a wide range of policy areas, ensuring compliance with government grant standards and HMT’s Managing Public Money. A number of schemes have already transitioned and are being delivered by GDD and we are now looking to the next stage of consolidation and the future departmental grants and wider business delivery support landscape. We are looking to appoint a G7 PMO lead to build a portfolio management function to enable effective oversight of the growing grants and delivery function.
JOB DESCRIPTION
The individual will be responsible for a key pillar of our change programme - improving GDDs use of technology & data, better utilising an end-to-end grant management system to streamline grant management and strengthen portfolio reporting. This will deliver a single version of the truth and support greater efficiency. You will have experience of using digital systems and AI to strengthen delivery oversight and make reporting more efficient and effective.
