About the job

Job summary

The Office for National Statistics (ONS) is the UKs largest producer of official statistics, covering a range of key economic, social and demographic topics. These include measuring changes in the value of the UK economy, estimating the size, geographic distribution, and characteristics of the population, and providing indicators of price inflation, employment, earnings, crime, and migration.

Be at the heart of one of the UK's most significant data transformation programmes.

Census 2031 represents our most ambitious data collection programme yet: a once-in-a-decade opportunity to capture a complete picture of everyone living in England and Wales. Building on the digital success of Census 2021, we're pioneering new ways to reach every household and community, ensuring no one is left uncounted. The insights generated will inform policy decisions, guide funding, and support the planning of services and communities across the country for years to come.

Working at the heartbeat of Census 2031, you'll be right in the middle of the action, acting as a central point within the programme and helping to connect people, services, and delivery partners. You'll work closely with senior leaders and colleagues across operational delivery, digital, data, policy, communications, and programme management, providing leadership that ensures activities are aligned, risks are understood, and delivery remains on track. This is a unique opportunity to gain exposure to a high-profile national programme while helping shape a project of national importance.

As a visible senior leader, you will be expected to build strong relationships across teams and stakeholders, leading collaboration and driving delivery in a complex environment. The role requires regular office attendance, participation in meetings, workshops, and key programme events, and being present where important decisions are made.

As a senior leader, you will set the vision and direction for teams, champion inclusive leadership, and build capability to deliver both current priorities and future ambitions. For Grade 6 roles, there is an additional focus on leading long-term operational improvement, strengthening leadership capability, and implementing new operating models and organisational change, while maintaining the delivery of critical operational services and strategic objectives.

As a visible senior leader at the heart of the programme, this role is based in Titchfield. Regular office attendance is required to provide leadership and support to teams, lead workshops and engagement activities, strengthen collaboration across workstreams, and ensure the successful delivery of this high-profile programme.

Provide strategic leadership during major operational incidents and service disruptions, ensuring effective coordination, recovery and organisational learning.
Build and maintain strong relationships with senior stakeholders, devolved governments, delivery partners and suppliers to enable integrated, effective and efficient service delivery.
Lead the development and implementation of operational communication strategies, ensuring stakeholders and senior leaders receive timely, accurate and actionable information.
Drive a culture of continuous improvement, innovation and learning, using operational insight, assurance activities and lessons learned to improve organisational performance and service outcomes.
Lead, inspire and develop high-performing, inclusive teams, fostering a culture of accountability, collaboration, wellbeing and continuous professional development.
Provide strategic leadership across complex operational services, ensuring alignment between organisational priorities, operational delivery, commercial arrangements and supplier performance.
