Job summary:

The CMA is the UK's world-leading government body established to make sure competition works in consumers' favour and businesses treat their customers fairly.

Be it taking enforcement action against drug firms accused of overcharging the NHS, investigating concerns about hotel booking websites' practices, or conducting major studies into whether vulnerable consumers are being ripped off by certain industries, what we do really matters.

The CMA is launching an exciting Digital Transformation Programme and requires a motivated and innovative Project Officer to support the Digital Transformation Delivery team.

As a Project Officer, you will be responsible for providing project support, ensuring accurate reports, managing budgets, and tracking key deliverables and milestones.

You'll have the opportunity to work with internal and external stakeholders, develop a good understanding of Government Functional Standards for Project Delivery, and implement project governance standards and procedures.

This is both a stimulating and rewarding opportunity to make a real difference in supporting CMA's work to promote competition for the benefit of consumers.
