Job summary

DSIT is the digital centre of government. We are responsible for setting, leading and delivering the vision for a modern digital government. Our priorities are to drive a modern digital government, by:

joining up public sector services
harnessing the power of AI for the public good
strengthening and extending our digital and data public infrastructure
elevating leadership and investing in talent
funding for outcomes and procuring for growth and innovation
committing to transparency and driving accountability

People and Transformation

The People & Transformation directorate sits at the heart of shaping DSITs future. We are responsible for getting the fundamentals right from pay, recruitment and casework while also leading the organisations people, workforce and digital transformation. Our work brings together employee experience, organisational design, workforce planning, digital recruitment, policy, data, AI and strategic change to create a joined-up, user-centred system that is easy to access and built for impact.

We're the driving force behind the DSIT Difference, making this the home for inventiveness, expertise and impact. By attracting exceptional talent, using technology and data to simplify decisions, and building a culture that thrives on innovation and continuous improvement were ensuring DSIT is future-ready, so we can do our best work in a fast-changing world.

DSIT is building a new AI Integration team to help the department embed AI into everyday work, so teams can deliver better outcomes for citizens faster, with greater quality and confidence.

As Principal Solutions Architect, you will lead a small team working across the department to identify AI opportunities and turn them into practical applications. This is not a conventional architecture role. Your team will often work independently of each other with portfolios of stakeholders, embedding with different parts of DSIT to understand problems, spot opportunities and help teams move quickly from idea to action.

You will build the team, set direction, shape priorities and help people choose the most effective route for each opportunity. That may mean coaching colleagues to solve a problem themselves, teaching teams how to use AI well, supporting the design of a low-code solution in a short sprint, bringing in specialist contractors, or escalating more complex needs to another team. You will need to keep the team focused, unblock problems, make useful connections and build clear ways of working across a team of people who are often operating independently.

Job description

This is a role for someone entrepreneurial, credible and energising. You will need to inspire others, bring structure to ambiguity, and help a small team deliver high-impact use cases that show clear value for the department.

As a Principal Solutions Architect (AI Solutions), you will:

set strategic direction, standards and ways of working for a distributed team that is often embedded across different parts of the organisation
help the team and stakeholders shape demand, prioritise projects, assess value vs effort/risk, make trade-offs, and maintain focus so solutions can be created
provide AI advice to senior leaders and non-technical stakeholders, communicating to gain support whilst managing risk and complexity
develop prototypes and deliver lightweight solutions (most likely using Copilot Studio, Power Automate and/or wider Power Platform)
foster a culture of learning and innovation within your team, role modelling effective and responsible use of AI

Person specification

Were interested in people who:

have experience setting clear strategic direction, standards and ways of working for a distributed team that is often embedded across different parts of the organisation
have experience helping the team and stakeholders shape demand, assess value vs effort/risk, make trade-offs, and maintain focus so solutions can be created, or identifying problems and solution options
have experience providing advice to senior leaders and non-technical stakeholders, utilising different architecture communication techniques to gain support from stakeholders for architectural initiatives with high levels of risk, impact and complexity
can translate between user needs, operational reality, governance requirements and technical options
have hands-on skill with Microsoft low-code tools to prototype and deliver lightweight solutions (Copilot Studio, Power Automate and/or wider Power Platform)
have experience coaching others to identify reusable patterns and trends, and feeding them back to the wider organisation to anticipate changes to policy and build resilience through your architectural work

Benefits

There are many benefits of working at GDS, including:

flexible hybrid working with flexi-time and the option to work part-time or condensed hours
a Civil Service Pension with an average employer contribution of 28.97%
25 days of annual leave, increasing by a day each year up to a maximum of 30 days
an extra day off for the Kings birthday
an in-year bonus scheme to recognise high performance
career progression and coaching, including a training budget for personal development
a focus on wellbeing with access to an employee assistance programme
job satisfaction from making government services easier to use and more inclusive for people across the UK
advances on pay, including for travel season tickets
death in service benefits
cycle to work scheme and facilities
access to an employee discounts scheme
10 learning days per year
volunteering opportunities (5 special leave days per year)

You may however be eligible for other government schemes, including Tax Free Childcare. Determine your eligibility at https://www.childcarechoices.gov.uk

Office attendance
The Department operates a discretionary hybrid working policy, which provides for a combination of working hours from your place of work and from your home in the UK. The current expectation for staff is to attend the office or non-home based location for 40-60% of the time over the accounting period.
DSIT does not normally offer full home working (i.e. working at home); but we do offer a variety of flexible working options (including occasionally working from home).

Things you need to know

Artificial intelligence

Artificial intelligence can be a useful tool to support your application, however, all examples and statements provided must be truthful, factually accurate and taken directly from your own experience. Where plagiarism has been identified (presenting the ideas and experiences of others, or generated by artificial intelligence, as your own) applications may be withdrawn and internal candidates may be subject to disciplinary action. Please see our candidate guidance for more information on appropriate and inappropriate use.

Selection process details

The standard selection process for roles at GDS consists of:

a simple application screening process - We only ask for a CV and three technical application questions
a 60 minute video interview which will feature a presentation

Depending on how many applications we get, there might also be an extra stage before the video interview, for example a phone interview or a technical exercise.

In the event we receive a high volume of applications, we will conduct the initial sift against the lead criteria which is: Tell us about a time you helped a team move from a vague problem to a clear problem statement, options and recommended action. How did you avoid jumping straight to a technology answer?

In the Civil Service, we use Success Profiles to evaluate your skills and ability. This gives us the best possible chance of finding the right person for the job, increases performance and improves diversity and inclusivity. Well be assessing your technical abilities, skills, experience and behaviours that are relevant to this role.

Please note that this role requires SC clearance, which would normally need 5 years UK residency in the past 5 years. This is not an absolute requirement, but supplementary checks may be needed where individuals have not lived in the UK for that period. This may mean your security clearance (and therefore your appointment) will take longer or, in some cases, not be possible.

For meaningful checks to be carried out, you will need to have lived in the UK for a sufficient period of time, to enable appropriate checks to be carried out and produce a result which provides the required level of assurance. Whilst a lack of UK residency in itself is not necessarily a bar to a security clearance, and expectation of UK residency may range from 3 to 5 years. Failure to meet the residency requirements needed for the role may result in the withdrawal of provisional jobs offers.
