About the team
The Growth Delivery Unit is a new team established to drive delivery of the Chancellor’s priorities and support her leadership of the growth mission – the government’s ambition to grow the UK economy.
By combining policy, analytical, project management and data science skills we can monitor the progress of policies and projects from announcement to actually delivering real-world outcomes; identifying when and why progress is being blocked; and intervening to overcome those barriers.
We are a friendly team with a can-do attitude. Our work can be fast paced but we work flexibly to support each other. We offer lots of development support to help you thrive. Diversity and team wellbeing are very important to us. Our work is relatable and interesting because it is passionate about priority issues which are often in the news and have tangible impacts.

You will help implement data engineering solutions, understanding a range of data architectures (including using cloud services such as Azure) and data transformation tools.
You will also have the opportunity to collect data, conduct high quality analysis, create engaging visualisations and develop insights, all to inform critical decision making. There are opportunities to add statistical insight, and use a variety of data analytics techniques, as well as contributing to the cross-government data science community, engaging with a range of collaborators to champion the value of data science.
Key accountabilities Support the senior analytical team in developing and maintaining innovative, clear, and engaging analytical products. Use Python and tools like Plotly Dash to build insights and interactive dashboards that optimally communicate delivery progress on priority projects. Applying data science and other analytical techniques to extract delivery-relevant insight from data and communicating those insights in a clear and engaging manner for senior decision makers. Maintain and build data flows and pipelines from a wide range of sources across Whitehall by establishing relationships and promoting technological solutions such as APIs. Maintenance of said pipelines in Microsoft Azure. Excellent interpersonal skills, and ability to build and manage relationships across HM Treasury. Build and maintain positive relationships with analytical teams in No10, CO and across government to ensure Ministers are presented with a single source of truth.
About us
HM Treasury is proud of a diverse and inclusive work environment, committed to fairness and the promotion of equality of opportunity for all. We know that having a range of experiences, ways of working and thinking makes us a stronger organisation, better at developing policy that is reflective of the communities we serve. We embrace different views and experiences and value the fresh perspective that people from a variety of circumstances bring to the work we do. We welcome applications from candidates who have not previously worked for the Civil Service, mid- and late-career changers with transferrable skills, people from all backgrounds and circumstances. #J-18808-Ljbffr
