This is an exciting opportunity to join HMRCs CDIO (Chief Digital & Information Officer) data science team working in Data Studios, the project management arm of CDIO Data Science and AI delivering analytical solutions to business problems. These solutions could be anything from generative AI, traditional AI, or power platform projects.

You will manage a group of small-medium AI projects with responsibility for all project management aspects. This includes project documentation and governance per project.

You will schedule and facilitate agile ceremonies e.g., requirement gathering workshops, show and tells etc.

You will facilitate conversations to ensure data protection impact assessments (DPIA) or equivalent data operational processes are completed in partnership with data scientists and business subject matter experts for compliance purposes.

You will also identify and look to remove obstacles/risks and/or escalate issues outside of your control.

You will have responsibility for the ongoing management of project benefits, including their identification, monitoring, and regular updating to reflect current progress in alignment with the data science workflow app and working in partnership with the customer.

Our project managers lead, develop and motivate multidisciplinary teams to deliver value. They create the right environment for teams to succeed, helping them self-organise and create a culture of learning, collaboration, and transparency. We use a range of project methodologies, mainly within an agile setting, to monitor and forecast Studio work as well as create a motivating environment to focus on what is most important to the delivery for project success.

You will lead a Data Studio team throughout the data delivery lifecycle, to deliver value and change, usually within the context of wider AI projects and programmes. For example, you will support the responsible delivery of AI solutions, ensuring ethical considerations and compliance with relevant standards and policies are embedded throughout the project lifecycle.

Regarding your own personal development, you will have opportunities to develop your skills in AI/agile delivery, and leadership through collaboration with experts and access to learning resources, all of which are considered very important for all CDIO Data Science colleagues.

There will be occasional travel involved with this role.

• Support the delivery of AI, data science and analytical projects from initial idea through to implementation and handover.
