Business Unit Information 

The Government Security Function (GSF) oversees the delivery of protective security across Government. Our Mission is to enable Government to protect citizens and provide vital public services by understanding and managing security risks. We set the strategy and standards for Government Security, monitor departmental security performance, manage pan-government security incidents, support the delivery of key security capabilities and lead the Government Security Profession.

The Government Security Group (GSG) is the centre of the Security Function, based within the Cabinet Office. GSG is transforming the Government’s approach to protective security to ensure it is fit to meet the challenges of the digital age. This role offers an exciting opportunity to work in a fast-paced, dynamic team, with a breadth of stakeholders including in other Government departments, the National Technical Authorities and the Agencies, and to contribute to delivering improved security across Government.

To support the mission of the Government Security Function, in January 2022 we published the Government Cyber Security Strategy. This sets out how we will improve the cyber security of the Government up to 2030. To support the implementation of this strategy, the Cyber Directorate has established a Programme Management Office responsible for overseeing, coordinating and supporting all of the ongoing work across Government.

These roles will support the Programme Manager and lead the two branches of the PMO. The first branch of the PMO is the reporting team.

The second branch of the PMO is the enabling function of the team. The role of managing this team is all about making our Programme more effective and runs in two main parts. Primarily this is a hub for specialist project management resources that projects can’t have locally.This means specialist skills that projects don’t need full time, such as business case development, can be provided to projects while functions like stakeholder management can be managed at programme level on behalf of the project team. Secondly, the successful candidate will be responsible for managing any thematic risks that are identified through reporting and fall within the remit of the PMO. 

For both roles we are looking for candidates with a solid foundation in project management. We expect that the successful candidates will be able to provide support and cross cover between the two roles when it is required. 

Key areas of responsibility

The post holders will be responsible for:

• Team Leadership – Coordinating the activities of the team, including ensuring that the work is appropriately prioritised.

• Business case support – To provide expert advice on developing business cases to project leads and SMEs.
• Guidance – To provide direction and guidance on development to the PMO and more broadly across the program.
• Risks and issues – Ensuring mitigation’s for cross cutting risks are in place and resolved through negotiated agreement.
• Dependency management – Working with project leads and business as usual to ensure dependencies are actively managed, act as an arbiter and enforcer and resolve issues between the various elements of the programme.
• Programme performance and controls – Maintaining overall integrity and coherence of programme and governance framework to support each project. Plan programme assurance activities.
