Playing a critical role in the UK economy, Companies House is making the UK a great place to start and run a business. As an executive agency of the Department for Business and Trade, the data on their registers informs business decisions, combats economic crime, drives corporate transparency, and supports growth.

The successful candidate will have direct and extensive experience in guiding an organization through a period of significant change whilst fostering a culture of innovation and excellence. Your personal qualities will be just as important as your professional background, as having the ability to drive a positive, inclusive, and authentic organizational culture is critical. You will need to take people—both within the organization and across its wide network of stakeholders - with you by being committed to inspiring and empowering people at all levels.
