Job summary

Are you ready to shape how the Ministry of Defence (MOD) is designed and is operated, directly enabling the defence of the UK? The MOD is seeking an exceptional and experienced professional for one of MOD’s top strategic priorities; Corporate Services Modernisation.
Corporate Services are critically important for the 250,000 people working across Defence to do their day-to-day jobs. For example, every time the department procures military equipment, personnel receive their monthly pay or request their vacation, they are using Corporate Services. As part of the wider government Shared Services Strategy, MOD has established the Corporate Services Modernisation (CSM) portfolio to drive Human Resources, Commercial and Finance policy, process, organisational, data and systems transformation. (More information on the Shared Services agenda can be found through this link: A Shared Services Strategy for Government - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)).
Our ambition is to revolutionise MOD corporate services to:

Improve the user experience by simplifying our policies and processes, providing easier and better interfaces to systems and self-service and; making services more responsive and providing easy access to help.
Deliver better data driven decision making by introducing and fully exploiting the latest Oracle Enterprise Performance Management (EPM), Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Human Capital Management (HCM) technology; improving visibility, accuracy and accessibility of management information across defence; and, using integrated data analytics and Artificial Intelligence (AI) to inform decision making.
Improve Productivity and Efficiency by automating transactional processes ; expanding and improving MOD’s shared service centre operations; and, reducing MOD’s overall corporate services spend to maximise our reinvestment into the front-line.

This position is advertised at 37 hours per week.
