Job Description
Michael Page have exclusively partnered with The Government Property Agency (GPA) to support on their continued Data Transformation programmes. The newly created role of Data Platform & Data Integrations Lead is pivotal in this strategy. The GPA is the largest property holder in government, with more than £2.1 billion in property assets and over 55% of the government's office estate.
Client Details
The GPA are transforming the way the Civil Service works by creating great places to work, leading the largest commercial office programme in the UK, working towards halving carbon emissions from government offices, and achieving greater value for taxpayers. The team are seeking innovative, solutions-focused people to work on leading transformational programmes such as the Government Hubs Programme, Whitehall Campus Programme and Net Zero Programme, as well as delivering modern, cost-effective real estate service solutions.
Innovation and progress are at the heart of GPA behaviours, fostering a culture of lifelong learning, where curiosity and self-improvement are encouraged. The organisation is dedicated to becoming a leading, inclusive employer both in the external market and throughout the Civil Service. A strong emphasis on Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) is not just about driving inclusion across our organisation, it is also about ensuring the services meet the needs of government departments and the civil servants work environments.
Description
The GPA maintains and operates a data warehouse that stores data from its various systems and allows the data to be re-used and integrated with other systems to support business processes via it's data integration layer. The data also supports business and management information. The Data Platform & Data Integrations Lead will support the Head of Business Information & Data to ensure the data platforms function effectively, are developed and maintained and supported by the Data Architecture Lead.
As a data driven organisation, the Data Platform & Data Integrations Lead is essential to assure that data is available for the various systems that create and consume data within GPA. This is especially important as many of the GPA systems require 'flavours' of the same data. Without a rigorous approach to allow data to be 'created once and re-used many times' we would be creating ambiguities in data provenance and inefficiencies in multiple point to point integrations.
