DWP. Digital with Purpose.

DWP is the UK's largest government department. We help people into work and make payments worth over £195bn a year, to support some of the most vulnerable people in our society.

We have two exciting opportunities to join our Fraud and Error team and Retirement Services as a Digital Performance Analyst.

These teams are in the middle of some exciting projects all aimed at helping citizens to prove their identity and access the Government services and support they need.

Delivery. Work. Projects. 

In this role you'll need to build strong relationships with stakeholders within a number of multidisciplinary agile teams - that will give you the influence you need to promote the use of performance analytics and to help stakeholders make iterative improvements through evidence-based decision making.

You will take a supporting role in developing performance frameworks and key performance indicators (KPIs) for the service, design and develop dashboards and provide in depth reports to communicate key metrics.

Another key part of your role will be to provide guidance on data collection from multiple sources to measure a service.

You will unlock understanding beyond the digital journey about the impact of the end-to-end service on the users.
