NLEDP 032 Data Replication Designer

Tender description

Who Speclialist Work With • Reporting to the Transition Programme Manager for Transition deliverables within the PNC Transition Programme • Working with the PNC Transition Architect and Solution Designer reporting to the Programme’s Lead Architect on design. • Will need to engage with members of the Law Enforcement Data Service (LEDS) Architecture Team, the existing Police Live Services team and with the programme’s Delivery Partners as necessary. • To deliver some of the design work, external stakeholder engagement should be expected. What Specialists Work On Will work directly on design specifications for: Data Replication Transition Service Packages Risk Mitigation and Rollback Reconciliation The specialist shall analyse message flows and reconciliation points within the architecture. They shall articulate specifications to a level that an implementation team can use, and refine these specifications with technical colleagues and delivery partners. The designs are generally technical, but involve data management and related processes. The specialist shall lead on data-related design activity and contribute to the production of the specification documents, but will not be responsible for them. Some involvement is required on refining Interface and Batch Job treatment plans. Where the Work Takes Place • Primary location: Home Office, Marsham Street, Westminster, London SW1P 4DF • Other London sites. • Visits to Hendon Data Centre, and some external stakeholders visits Early Market Engagement Working Arrangements Some remote working is acceptable, supported by a Home Office laptop to enable collaboration and exchange of sensitive material. Some meetings can be by conference call, but significant design meetings are expected to be face-to-face at a Home Office location or partner visit. Existing Subject Matter Experts located in London or Hendon will provide most of the information available for the data, messages and architectures. The specification documents will be created in collaboration with the Solution Designer; the PNC Transition Architect shall provide guidance and assurance and is accountable for the alignment of the products to the whole PNC transition.
