Ministry of Justice an Inclusive Employer

Overview

The Ministry of Justice works to protect the public and reduce reoffending, while endeavouring to provide a more effective, transparent, and responsive justice system for everyone who uses or encounters it.

We are responsible for prisons and probation services in England and Wales, and for the courts and tribunals in England and Wales and (in some cases) in Scotland.

The Synergy programme has been set up to transform Shared Services in Finance, Commercial and HR, across a cluster of four government departments: Ministry of Justice, Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, Department for Work and Pensions and the Home Office.

This is a fantastic opportunity to join the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) Synergy team as a Finance Readiness Lead.

The Functional Readiness roles are based within the functional teams they are supporting, to be closer to their main stakeholders.

The Readiness roles will be dealing with change being delivered by the Synergy Programme (procuring our new Finance and HR system and Business Processing Service) as well as leading on delivery of our own MoJ Synergy portfolio of projects to be delivered in readiness for the new system.

Role Summary

The role will bring flexibility to pick up a variety of work and the ability to switch focus at pace is also key to being successful in this role.

This role aligns strongly with the Synergy design principles and Government Finance Global Design Principles and Data Quality Framework.

Role Responsibilities

Key tasks will include:

Synergy Programme:

Lead the MoJ Finance and/or Commercial engagement with the Synergy Programme for the design and implementation of the new shared system and service; working with a range of Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) across MoJ to gain buyin and understand work pressures to reflect against input required into the programme designs and delivery plan.
Ensuring the MoJ Finance directorate is sufficiently represented within the Synergy Programme forum, and sufficiently contributes requirements to the programme design, to make sure that we and the programme understand our requirements and business change journey.
Be an advocate of the 'Adopt not Adapt' concept of Cloud system adoption, challenging established ways of working to realise the transformation aspirations of the programme; to deliver projects which move MoJ toward standardised or centralised, more efficient ways of working.

MoJ readiness:

Working with a wide range of Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) from across MoJ, the post holder will lead and oversee delivery of a portfolio of complex readiness projects, for their functional areas of accountability.

For their portfolio they will:

Work with a multidisciplinary team/stakeholder network to deliver discovery projects; build the case for change, gain Design Authority and Project Board approval to proceed to project implementation. Support handover to a Project Manager (where implementation is phased) and become lead SME for design and implementation of the project deliverables or leading delivery of smaller projects.
Coordinate requirement gathering activities, their validation and signoff, ensuring that the needs of the key stakeholders are articulated, requirements capture asis and tobe state, interdependencies, risks, opportunities and consequences of change.
Lead stakeholder analysis, develop strategies and ensure communication and engagement is delivered to plan. Identify, build and maintain strong effective relationships with senior stakeholders; business experts, architects, commercial and technica
