Seeking another evaluation superstar for 6 month secondment to the Digital and Analytics Service (DaAS) in the Department of Government Services (DGS)

Hi everyone!

I am the Manager of Policy, Evaluation, Governance and Strategy (PEGS) at the Digital and Analytics Service (DaAS) - aka the artists formerly known as VCDI (the Victorian Centre for Data Insights).

We are a cost-recovery shared-service provider for all of the Victorian Public Sector - a kind of in-house consultancy service. Our mission is to strengthen evidence-based policy and practice by transforming the way government uses data. We support data and digital capability uplift and provide agencies and business units with an injection of capability, advice, technical expertise or service in digital, data and evaluation projects, as required to suit your needs. 

Our most recent secondee couldn't turn down a fab ongoing position she's just been offered (fair!), so I'm once again looking for a VPS5 Senior Evaluation Officer (qualitative focus) for a six month secondment. If anyone knows anyone who is awesome and looking for work or a change of scene for a while, please let me know! Could that be you? Come join our fun team!
