Today, Westminster is the most connected borough in London. But, when David joined us in the mid:2010s, small businesses were still struggling to get connected to fibre. Without gigabit:capable broadband, some companies even resorted to biking memory sticks around the city, simply to share files with clients. Although still in a junior role, David took the initiative and successfully made the business case for GBP 2.8 million of European funding to support connectivity for small businesses across Westminster. Feedback from businesses has been overwhelmingly positive as the project has enhanced their communications with clients. The new connectivity allows them to make video calls and work remotely. As the pandemic hit and many more people needed to work from home, it became clear just how vital this investment had been. Fast:forward a few years. Westminster is leading the way for connectivity, as a result of the project businesses are thriving, and David is heading up a service of his own responsible for delivery of the Smart City strategy.

The programme brings an inclusive, user:centred, participatory and problem:led approach to delivering quality services and world:leading experiences for everyone we serve. You'll play a key role in our user research community, setting standards and taking responsibility for the professional development of other user researchers. Working across the whole of our Digital and Innovation portfolio, you'll support core IT, technology, customer, digital and Smart City aspects. Taking the lead on user research of new, complex products and services, your work will touch a range of different product teams at the same time. You'll put the user at the centre of all you do. In this varied and vital post, you could find yourself working in a variety of ways : from joining a product team iterating a product to continuously improve, through to helping a service team deliver against a set of requirements. As the bridge between data and lived experience, you'll use qualitative and quantitative evidence to help services understand what people need from us and how to design services to meet those needs. Engaging with all kinds of residents to understand the diversity of need in the borough, you'll become a trusted advisor on assisted digital delivery and digital inclusion. Along the way, you'll work with talented colleagues in User Research, Service Design, User Experience Design, Online and Digital Transformation, and Customer Service.
