About The Team
Strategy, Planning & Change (SPC) is a small team of 6 officials supporting HM Treasury’s Executive Management Board (EMB) and Ministers on departmental strategy, performance, resourcing, and risk. We design and develop the Treasury’s current vision and strategy, coordinate work on HMT’s spending review settlement, and oversee the department’s Performance & Delivery Framework. We play a leading role in shaping how the department ensures its resources, structures, and processes are optimized to deliver for Ministers and the public, and lead on the department’s medium-term policy challenges, including through establishing a new strategic analysis and insight function.
We work closely with other teams in the SPB Group, such as the Budget & Finance Bill team, the Growth Delivery Unit, and the Strategic Projects team, to support strategic coherence across the Treasury and ensure resources are devoted to the highest priority areas.
About The Job
Key accountabilities include:
* Leading work on the department’s objectives, aligning these with the Plan for Change and government Missions, and articulating the department’s priorities and strategy internally and externally through quality products and engagement. This is especially critical in a Spending Review year, influencing the department’s overall priorities and work with senior officials and Ministers.
* Developing thinking on horizon scanning, long-term risks, and future challenges, applying strategy and foresight tools to improve delivery for Ministers and the public.
* Leading SPC’s approach to performance and delivery, overseeing a framework for monitoring the department’s priorities, and supporting EMB and Ministers in decision-making when issues arise.
* Developing and maintaining relationships across Treasury groups and business areas, supporting their development and recognizing their efforts to strengthen teamwork.
