Job summary:

Thank you for your interest in this exciting Senior Project Management Lead role within our Digital and Information Directorate.

The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) sits at the heart of the criminal justice system, working with partners to help keep the public safe.

We deal with criminal cases at every level - including burglary, terrorism, domestic abuse and multi-million pound fraud cases.

We also work across borders to tackle cybercrime, human trafficking and drugs smuggling, and use our powers to confiscate the proceeds of crime at home and abroad.

We are constantly adapting to the changing crime landscape and to wider issues affecting the criminal justice system and the country as a whole.

So, for example, our current priorities include helping us improve how we engage with victims, witnesses and defendants, and facilitating wider international collaboration, as well as recovering from the coronavirus (COVID-19) crisis.

As we look to 2025, we're also focusing on our organisational digital capability in a broader sense. This will span all five aims within our CPS 2025 Strategy, boldly embracing innovation and new ways of working.

The world is changing at a fast pace and so is the CPS, therefore we are looking to expand our digital delivery capability recruiting Platform Engineers across our low code & automation platforms to helping us to achieve our 2025 ambitions, and ensure that the CPS continues to be supported by high-quality digital, data and technology expertise.

We would love to hear from forward-thinking, collaborative and proven experts who share our values and our passion for delivering justice to the public we serve.
