Desirable
An understanding of UK public sector and policing policy context, including strategic priorities, governance and accountability, and the wider environment (for example funding pressures, inspection and assurance, and cross-government drivers).
Experience in strategic and commercial analysis, including business cases, options appraisal and benefits and costs assessment.
Experience in digital, data, technology or transformation programmes.
Operating model design, process improvement, service design, governance or capability build.
