About the role
The Strategy Team sits at the heart of the Incubator for AI (i.AI). The role of the team is to tell the story of the Incubator, turn decision-makers into advocates and to drive delivery of the project portfolio. This is a dynamic brief, in one of the most exciting and critical areas of government, with high ambition from the Secretary of State and the Prime Minister. The successful candidate will shape the big picture vision of how the Incubator can reimagine the state with AI - and then set it up to deliver on it. This will require thought leadership to define our end goals, including bringing in challenge from leading AI and industry experts. It will also mean ensuring the work of the Incubator is building up this vision, including by running quarterly portfolio reviews, with the Chief AI Officer, to make calls on where we invest our resources. The postholder will drive this vision, bringing alignment across teams in GDS, DSIT and wider government and across professions including digital, legal, comms and policy - telling a compelling story of this work. Working within a small strategy function in a team of technical experts, success in this role can mean improving the lives of millions of citizens.
