Summary
Matt Jukes is a seasoned public service digital leader with 12+ years of product and delivery experience and a career spanning national statistics, central government and civic tech. He led the team that rebuilt the Office for National Statistics website (launched 2016) and has since driven high-profile programmes including GOV.UK Web and the National Data Library. Comfortable switching between hands-on product work and senior coaching, he has built and scaled multidisciplinary teams, run Service Assessments, and advised on open data standards and procurement. His background at mySociety and work with platforms like FixMyStreet and Facebook’s Town Hall give him a rare blend of civic tech product insight and government delivery rigor. A frequent conference speaker and popular blogger on agile product practice, he also quietly shapes capability by recruiting, mentoring and professionalising product communities across departments.
