Job Description

We are seeking a visionary strategist and industry leader to act as the bridge between the Public Sector’s strategic ambitions and our world-class delivery teams. This is a role for a senior leader who has 'been there', someone who understands the tension between legacy estate modernisation and the urgent need for user-centred, digital-first services. As a Strategic Consulting Lead for Public Sector you are passionate about experience innovation and eager to push the boundaries of what’s possible. You bring many years of experience, a growth mindset and a drive to make a lasting impact.

Job Responsibility

  • Act as a strategic peer to Senior Civil Servants (SCS1/2), helping them navigate the GDS Service Standard and the Technology Code of Practice
  • Provide 1-2-1 consultations to help departments move from 'Digital Transformation' as a concept to 'Digital Delivery' as a tangible reality
  • Advise on breaking down 'Big IT' silos and implementing agile, multi-disciplinary team structures within government frameworks
  • Take a lead role in high-value bids via procurement frameworks
  • Identify emerging needs within Central Government
  • Leverage and grow an extensive personal network of senior officials, decision-makers, and policy influencers across the public sector
  • Represent Valtech at major industry forums/events
  • Produce high-quality whitepapers, case studies and articles
  • Engage with bodies like the Central Digital and Data Office (CDDO) to help shape the standards of tomorrow

Requirements

  • Significant experience in a senior digital role within the UK Government (ideally ex-GDS or a major delivery department) or a senior leadership role at a technology services provider
  • Deep understanding of the Government Service Standard lifecycle—Discovery, Alpha, Beta, Live—and how to successfully navigate a service through assessment
  • Proven ability to spot market trends and translate them into successful business growth and long-term partnerships
  • Exceptional communication skills as a powerful storyteller who can simplify complex technical or political narratives for executive-level audiences
  • Must currently hold, or be eligible for, Security Check (SC) level clearance

What we offer

  • Environment designed for continuous learning, meaningful impact, and professional growth
  • Workplace culture that fosters creativity, diversity and autonomy
  • Borderless, global framework, which enables seamless collaboration
