About the Role

Risk & Resource Management: Identify and mitigate architectural risks while managing team resources to meet priorities and deadlines.
Inclusive Team Culture: Foster diversity and an inclusive working environment where all team members can thrive.
You will have the opportunity to work with multiple projects and programmes across all areas of Welsh Government, with staff at all levels including senior staff, Ministers, and our Digital Apprentice cohort. You will help build and improve links and collaboration within the cross-government Digital, Data and Technology community.
