We're recruiting for a Stakeholder Engagement Lead here at Justice Digital, Data and Science, within the Digital Compliance team. Digital Compliance brings together specialist teams that help Justice Digital, Data and Science deliver secure, accessible, resilient and well-governed digital services.

You will also provide strategic advice to senior leaders, using stakeholder insight to identify risks and opportunities, strengthen relationships and help Digital Compliance teams engage effectively with the people who use, deliver and are accountable for their services. Inclusive and accessible working is a core expectation of the role. Digital Compliance has established accessible ways of working, and you will be expected to model, protect and strengthen these standards across stakeholder engagement, meetings, events, content, leadership activity and everyday team practice.
