The Public Services Board (PSB) is the organisations's senior member forum that shapes the organisation's influencing and engagement priorities for improving digital public services to UK citizens and enterprises. The board aims to be representative of the diversity of the tech sector's engagement with government in terms of the range of products and services supplied into government, of contract sizes (e.g., major to SME suppliers) and of executive leadership. Board members are either public sector profit and loss owners for their businesses, or strategic engagement professionals working into their UK board or Executive Committee. Meeting around 10 times annually, the board co-ordinates its work and agenda with other more focused public sector working groups - the Central Government Council, Local Public Services Committee, Justice and Emergency Services Committee, and Health and Social Care Committee. This position provides an opportunity to work with senior level representatives from industry and Government to support the effective engagement and better public service delivery through technology. This role would suit an articulate and well-connected person, with an understanding of the working of Whitehall and various government departments. Experience of working with industry, the UK technology sector, government, policy development, and other stakeholders is required.
