Allen Lane is working with a high-profile central government organisation in their search for an Interim Chief of Staff.

This is an urgent requirement to be located on a hybrid basis in their East Kilbride offices.

• Proven ability to run leadership cadence, governance and decision processes.
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to prepare clear, concise papers.
