Full job description
Corporate Operations Directorate, part of the DG Corporate family, leads efforts to enable Scottish Government to operate more effectively and efficiently, supporting both internal teams and shared service customers. Our critical technologies and services underpin operations across government, with a focus on digital transformation, automation and shared services. We bring structure and governance to the setting of priorities, and are responsible for delivering projects and programmes from a varied portfolio of transformational change.
Within the Directorate, the function of Corporate Architecture was formed to take ownership for a mission to make a material positive impact on the performance of the Scottish Government with a coherent, professional Architecture Operation. We are agents of change who support the organisation in making informed, people-centred decisions that align with our shared mission: In the Service of Scotland.
Our team brings together expertise in analysis, strategy and storytelling to help shape the future of the organisation. We act as a trusted partner - connecting people, ideas and evidence - to ensure the right voices are heard and the right decisions are made. Our architecture remit is the corporate space. We define that as business processes, applications, data and technology where staff and the business people we work with are affected, and the concern is shared across multiple lines of business.
