Lead Technical Recruiter - Architecture, Delivery and Product
The Senior Technology Delivery Manager plays an important role within the Home Office’s Digital's Directorate and is positioned within the Police & Public Protection Technology (PPPT) Portfolio. PPPT works in partnership with Police Forces, agencies and arms-length bodies of the Home Office, involved in law enforcement to cut crime and prevent abuse and exploitation. An increasing dependency on technology is at the heart of the ongoing reform and modernisation of the Police and its uses are varied.
The Law Enforcement Cloud Platform (LECP), is designed to host national law enforcement applications in a single, secure, cost effective and flexible environment.
* The rationale for LECP contributes to the Home Office’s vision of delivering world class public protection and safeguarding services, as well as supporting policing’s ambition of “cloud first” with 80% of Police technology hosted in the cloud.
* It is the first and only Home Office multi-application cloud hosting platform that is law enforcement and policing assured. As one of the Home Office’s strategic platform of choice, LECP supports the replacement of legacy infrastructure that are either siloed, inefficient, expensive, or at risk of failure and nearing end of support.
The STDM will work on the programme to deliver cloud-based tools and services to LECP customers (Tenants). There will be a need to work across several product teams, reach consensus and prioritisation with fellow STDMs and the Delivery Lead. Management of the specific team will require previous experience of working in a complex and challenging environment.
