It's also about people, ways of working and building the capability to sustain change.

We're not looking for a lengthy statement or a particular writing style. What matters is that you demonstrate an understanding of the role and how your experience could contribute to our work. Please make sure your CV and cover letter are relevant to the Senior Director, Technology position. As the cover letter forms part of our initial assessment, applications without one, or where the documents are clearly intended for a different role, won't be progressed. We recognise that people gain experience in different ways, and you don't need to meet every requirement to apply. How you'll be assessed We want to understand your skills, experience, perspective and what motivates you to join Public Digital. We'll start by reviewing applications against the criteria outlined in the What we're looking for section, focusing on your relevant experience and the impact you've made.

We aim to be as competitive as possible based on what you bring to the role. * Flexible working We support flexible working, and you can split your time between home and our London office. Most of the team comes in around once a week to collaborate, but there's no set requirement to be in regularly. * However, as this is a client-facing role, there may be times when you'll need to travel to a client's office or attend in-person meetings, depending on the needs of the project. While we offer flexibility where we can, we also appreciate the same in return when it comes to meeting client expectations.
