The Digital, Data and Technology (DDaT) team at the Department of Business and Trade (DBT) develops and operates tools and services such as great.gov.uk that enable the UK government to provide world leading support to businesses in the UK and overseas.

We are a team of about 200 specialists covering everything from user research, data, development, design, content to product and delivery.

You’ll get to constantly push boundaries in an environment free of heavy legacy, driven by curiosity, social purpose, diversity of thought, entrepreneurship and the aspiration to offer an incredible experience to all our users. Find out more about us on our blog, Digital Trade.

We are committed to increasing our employee diversity and are particularly proud that our majority-female senior management team makes us an industry leader in the public sector and led to us being shortlisted for an award from Women in Tech.
