Who we are The Cabinet Office supports the Prime Minister and ensures the effective running of government. We are also the corporate headquarters for government, in partnership with HM Treasury, and we take the lead in certain critical policy areas. Our main offices are in London, but we have staff based around the country. Your role with us In this role, you'll provide visible and inclusive leadership for the finance team, setting a clear direction and building a strong sense of identity and community. You'll position finance as a trusted enabler to the business, supporting Directors General, Directors and budget holders to deliver Cabinet Office priorities in a way that is both effective and efficient. Working closely with colleagues across finance, commercial and corporate services, you'll engage early in policy development and pipeline reviews, providing clear investment appraisal and shaping decisions from the outset. You'll represent Finance on boards and work alongside senior commercial leaders to support decision-making across the programme delivery cycle, identifying risks and opportunities and helping leaders make informed choices around investment and continuous improvement. You'll develop a deep understanding of the business areas within scope, considering short, medium and long-term priorities and how they align with wider departmental and cross-government objectives. Acting as a core part of budget holders' management teams, you'll provide independent, robust financial advice, support effective resource prioritisation, and help manage risks and opportunities. Alongside this, you'll play an active role in developing people - supporting professional growth, qualifications and talent management across the finance function, and helping to build capability for the future. Who we're looking for You bring a strong background in finance business partnering, or a clear passion for it, and you understand the value of finance as a trusted advisor rather than a gatekeeper. You're confident working with senior leaders, able to influence decisions through clear, credible advice, and comfortable explaining complex financial information in a way that lands. You're a people-focused leader who cares deeply about building high-performing, diverse and inclusive teams. You've led in matrix environments, foster trust through openness and reliability, and know how to bring people with you - even when priorities compete. Building strong relationships comes naturally to you, and you take the time to understand how the organisation works and the challenges it faces. You combine strong analytical thinking with sound judgement. Use data and insight to inform decisions rather than overwhelm them. You're experienced in financial control and governance, bring solid technical accounting skills, and are comfortable applying them across a broad range of disciplines. Working closely with commercial colleagues, you offer constructive challenge and commercial insight that improves outcomes. You're also confident working with Excel and data, using analysis in a practical way to support the organisation's goals. With a good understanding of government finance and fiscal events such as spending reviews, you stay calm under pressure, think strategically, and continue to develop yourself and others - helping teams perform at their best. The Civil Service embraces diversity and promotes equal opportunities. With this in mind, we run a Disability Confident Scheme for candidates with disabilities who meet the minimum selection criteria. Also, please note that successful candidates must meet our security requirements before they can be appointed, and will also undergo a criminal record check. Closing date: 19 February 2026.

We're proud to have a diverse, global team where we value the individual and enrich our culture by considering varied perspectives because we believe people power progress. Join us as a Director, Data and Analytics and help us do what we do best: propelling business forward. This will be a remote role working out of your home office in the United Kingdom. In this role, you will: Lead the transformation of our enterprise data environment by migrating from our legacy SQL Server data warehouse to a modern data platform, positioning the company for scale, performance, and data trust. Drive the transition from Tableau Server to Power BI as our standard visualization and analytics layer, including the rationalization of legacy dashboards and adoption of a governed semantic layer. Ensure the successful delivery and long-term integration of the ARR & Renewal Pool Data Product, working closely with our third-party partner to align architecture, prevent rework, enable trust, and increase business adoption. Own and evolve our data engineering, analytics engineering, and BI/reporting teams, ensuring the right structure, roles, and workflows to balance day to day support and strategic execution. Implement a predictable data product operating model, including intake, prioritization, SLAs, ceremonies, and communication rhythms that create transparency and confidence in delivery. Partner closely with Finance, Sales Operations, Customer Success, Product, and IT to ensure data quality, availability, and adoption across the business. Establish foundational data governance, quality management, and lifecycle practices, ensuring our data is accurate, secure, and trusted. Communicate clearly and consistently with executives - setting expectations, sequencing work, highlighting trade-offs, and providing status visibility throughout the modernization journey. Your background: 10+ years in Data & Analytics, including experience leading a data platform modernization initiative in a complex enterprise environment. Hands-on experience modernizing enterprise analytics stacks, including migrating from SQL Server to Snowflake, transitioning from Tableau to Power BI, and implementing governed semantic layers (e.g., dbt) to deliver trusted, scalable data products such as ARR and Renewal datasets. Proven success driving adoption of Power BI or a similar enterprise visualization platform, with an emphasis on Self-Service rather than Dashboard curation, at scale. Strong familiarity with modern Data Platform concepts, semantic modeling, and analytics platform architecture, with the ability to challenge technical assumptions and guide design decisions. Experience building or maturing data platforms, governance practices, semantic models, AI-enabled analytics and data product delivery frameworks. Track record of leading data engineering, analytics engineering, and BI/reporting teams, ideally in a distributed or global model. Demonstrated ability to partner with GTM, Finance, IT, and Executive leadership to align priorities and drive adoption. Your soft skills: Product Mindset: You deliver outcomes, not artifacts - focusing on clarity, usability, adoption, and business value. Expectation Setter: You communicate early, directly, and clearly, especially around timelines, trade-offs, and priorities. Influential Leader: You earn trust, challenge assumptions, and can say "no" in a way that leads to alignment, not friction. Calm in Ambiguity: You bring structure to complex environments and create clarity in moments of change. Business-Savvy Storyteller: You translate complex data and technical concepts into simple, actionable business language. Team Developer: You coach, align, and elevate talent - building a predictable, high-trust, high-ownership operating model. If this sounds like you and fits your experience and career goals, we'd be happy to chat. What we offer in return is the opportunity to experience a great company culture with wonderful colleagues to learn from and collaborate with and also to enjoy: Compensation: Competitive salary, bonus, and best-in-class Employee Stock Purchase Program (ESPP) with a 27-month lookback.
