Own Zinc's DVS trust framework certification programme end-to-end, act as the authoritative compliance voice, liaise with certification bodies, translate regulatory requirements for engineering, manage entry into public-sector frameworks (G-Cloud, DVLA, Information Gateway), maintain compliance records, and support sales on trust framework queries.
Zinc is building the infrastructure that makes hiring faster, fairer, and more transparent. We are the UK's leading background screening and compliance platform, and as the government's digital identity agenda accelerates, this work is becoming one of the most consequential things we do.
The UK digital verification services trust framework sits at the heart of what Zinc does, and we are hiring the person who will own our DVS register position. Not support it. Not consult on it. Own it end to end, drive Zinc's certification programme forward, and take on every public sector framework that comes next.
Beyond DVS, Zinc operates across a growing set of public sector frameworks and data-sharing arrangements. From G-Cloud and procurement frameworks to DVLA integration and the Information Gateway under the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025, the Frameworks Manager will build and own a portfolio that reflects the full scope of Zinc's regulatory position in the market.
But this all starts with the DVS trust framework. If you know the framework inside out and you are ready to be the expert in the room rather than the person next to them, this is the role. 🧑💼
⚡️ Take full ownership of Zinc's DVS trust framework certification programme.
⚡️ Be Zinc's authoritative internal and external voice on digital identity compliance.
⚡️ Build and own a growing portfolio of public sector frameworks, from DVS to G-Cloud, DVLA, and the Information Gateway.
⚡️ Act as the bridge between Legal & Compliance and engineering, translating regulatory requirements into clear, actionable guidance.
