Now, after an 8-figure investment, we are opening a recruitment round to deal with our additional skills and operational needs.

Working for GovData is the opportunity to work for the ultimate Experts in Winning, in high pressure, technical and exceptionally competitive and regulated markets .

This is reflected in our selection process which includes mandatory assessments. A CV does not prove you can do what you claim to be able to do. If you do not expect to validate yourself and prove you are the right candidate through evidence-based assessments and interviewing, please do not apply. We are never persuaded. We are driven by proof, facts, track records and references.

We are currently at an exciting stage in our growth strategy meaning any successful applicants couldn’t be joining at a better time.

Our Mission Statement is to Make Britain Great Again!

GovData is an excellent place to work with share options, pension scheme, health, and employee benefits for all employees.
