Job description:

The Chief Digital Information Officer is accountable for the leadership of this Group, through a significant period of change.

To support the Director General (DG) to deliver against these objectives, it is critical that the CDIO Private Office is operating at a strategic level and can respond to fast paced and high-pressurised challenges.

We are therefore recruiting for a Private Secretary to the Chief Digital Information Officer to lead the CDIO DG Private Office team, and to support the DG to deliver the groups strategic objectives for HMRC.

This will require leadership and management at all levels, including significant influencing across HMRC and government.

The postholder is responsible for providing direct private secretary support to the DG, and will be accountable for critical pieces of organisational delivery.

This is within a period of significant change, and so will require an individual who is highly adaptable and able to operate within ambiguity.

The postholder will also be responsible for developing and leading a high-performing private office team, who are empowered to deliver and manage effectively across competing priorities.
