Stakeholder Engagement Manager

We're recruiting for three Stakeholder Engagement Managers 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. Each team has its own expertise, users, stakeholders and ways of working, and effective stakeholder relationships are essential to making those services work well. As a Stakeholder Engagement Manager, you will be embedded across at least two Digital Compliance teams as their dedicated stakeholder engagement partner. You will work closely with technical specialists to understand their services, the people who use or are affected by them, and the barriers that can prevent effective engagement or adoption. You will turn stakeholder insight into practical engagement plans, build trusted relationships, facilitate meaningful two-way engagement and help specialist teams explain complex services clearly. Communications, events, communities and content are important tools within the role, but the core purpose is to build relationships, increase understanding and enable the effective use of Digital Compliance services. You will work within a hub-and-spoke model led by the G7 Stakeholder Engagement Lead. The Lead sets the strategy, operating model, standards and cross-cutting priorities for the function; Stakeholder Engagement Managers translate that direction into locally relevant activity for their embedded teams and feed insight back into the wider function. Inclusive and accessible working is a core expectation. Our teams are accustomed to accessible ways of working, and you will be expected to maintain that standard in meetings, workshops, events, content and everyday collaboration, considering different communication, access and processing needs from the outset.

You'll receive a range of excellent benefits when you join our department, including:

• A generous employer pension contribution of 28.97% through the Civil Service Pension Scheme.
• 25 days of annual leave, (increasing to 30 days once you have reached 5 years of service), plus 8 bank holidays and a privilege day for the King's birthday.
• Flexible working arrangements including hybrid working, working part time or compressed hours. Designed to support a positive work-life balance.
• Employees are allocated 10% of their working time for personal and professional development.
• A £1k per person learning budget is in place to support all our people, with access to best-in-class conferences and seminars, accreditation with professional bodies, fully funded vocational programmes and e-learning platforms.
• Compassionate maternity, adoption, and shared parental leave policies, with up to 26 weeks leave at full pay, 13 weeks with partial pay, and 13 weeks further leave. And maternity support/paternity leave at full pay for 2 weeks, too!
