Reporting at a senior level, you will translate organisational strategy into effective IT and digital operating plans, ensuring technology is secure, efficient, compliant and truly fit for purpose.
You’ll lead teams, manage key supplier relationships, oversee budgets, and drive continuous improvement, always keeping the needs of customers, colleagues and the wider organisation at the centre of decision-making.

You will value collaboration and partnership, working effectively with people at all levels and with external stakeholders to achieve shared goals.
You’ll also bring a mindset of continuous improvement, with a commitment to your own personal and professional development, and the confidence to take informed, measured risks in order to deliver better outcomes for the organisation and those we support.
