  • Get Company Information Service
  • Compliance and Enforcement Service
  • And a fourth service for common services which include standard elements used across all services, such as identity, access management, payment, contact centre and digital communication methods.

    In order to support this transformation, each service needs the support of Service Owners, Service Managers and Deputy Service Managers. Our new Deputy Service Manager will report to one of the Filing Service Managers but will also support the other Filing Service Managers and Service Owner. They will support them to implement the vision of the service and help deliver outcomes across the service streams.�

    As a Deputy Service Manager you will oversee the running of the service implementation team, supporting the team to facilitate the effective implementation of new services and updates to existing services. You will learn from internal and external user insight and provide feedback to continuously improve the services and play a vital role in the delivery of the right capabilities to ensure our services are set up to succeed.

    If you are passionate about user needs and delivering quality services to customers, then we�d love to hear from you.

    At Companies House we�re committed to creating a great place to work for all our colleagues. We encourage our brilliant people to bring their whole selves to work, perform to the very best of their ability and flourish; supporting us to fulfil our vision to becoming the most innovative, open, and trusted registry in the world.�
