The Ministry of Justice (MOJ) is a highly complex and valuable organisation, with 70,000 staff across multiple locations nationally. MOJ Digital and Technology was set up to not only change the way that people access and use justice services, but to ensure that everyone has the tools and technology they need to keep courts, prisons and other justice services operating effectively.

• Development of digital services to support a wide variety of stakeholders across the business;
• Prioritising the challenges and acting as a thought leader for current and planned digital solutions;
• Driving legacy technology replacement and embracing modern digital technologies;
• Leading a team of over 150 across multiple locations;
• Developing new standards of stakeholder engagement at multiple levels;
• Managing a substantial investment budget to drive performance improvement;
• Finding new, efficient ways of working that release resources across the organisation.
