Head of Strategy and Operations
About this role
Run strategy and ops for the UK government's education innovation lab. You'll sit at the intersection of policy, design thinking, and delivery — translating big ideas into things that actually work for schools and families.
What makes this a Systems Thinker role?
Systems Thinkers see the whole chessboard. They understand how changing one piece affects everything else, and they design processes, strategies, and structures that account for complexity. If you naturally think in feedback loops, love mapping how things connect, and get frustrated when people solve symptoms instead of root causes, this role is for you.
