The Business Design practice is growing and we’re looking for enthusiastic individuals with the right blend of critical thinking, creativity, insight, agility and enthusiasm to join this forward-thinking community of problem solvers.
We recognise a balance the importance of developing core skills for the role with individual goals. We’ll provide structured training and development programme as well as encouraging and supporting your personal development. Whilst we’ll work with you to further develop your core skills through a structured training and development programme, we’ll also encourage, support, and give you the time and space for personal development and growth.
As a community we embrace individuality and see our unique differences as key to realising both our individual potential, and our organisational purpose.
What is the job role and purpose?
As a Business Design Analyst you’ll leverage new technologies, varied datasets, and specialist operational knowledge to undertake detailed analyses and develop evidence based solutions to some of CTP’s most complex challenges. You’ll collaborate and build relationships with a wide variety of stakeholders from across the public sector, playing a pivotal role in reacting and reshaping the country’s CT approach.

- Support the translation of complex organisational problems and solutions into simple compelling narratives that achieve broad business consensus

- Proactively assist in maturing the business design practice, expanding your own and others’ skillset, providing assurance, and developing new approaches

- Finance, HR and Communications business partners within CTPHQ to collate data, identify and manage ‘people’ impacts as part of design activity.
