Technical Portfolio Manager
Our vision is for safe and effective nursing and midwifery practice across the four countries of the UK – regulated and supported by the NMC – a fit for the future organisation, with fairness and equity at the heart of everything we do.
Our role is to protect the public and maintain confidence in the nursing and midwifery professions. As the largest independent regulator in Europe of more than 860,000 nursing and midwifery professionals, we have a crucial role in making this a reality.
We do this by setting and promoting high education and professional standards for all future and registered nurses and midwives in the UK and nursing associates in England.
We also ensure every nurse, midwife and nursing associate on our Register meets clear standards of conduct and practice which protects the public and the reputation of our professions.
We have a duty to investigate concerns and to take steps to protect the public in the relatively rare instances where we need to limit or restrict a nurse, midwife or nursing associate’s right to practise.
We are building a new NMC with integrity, fairness, respect, equity and effectiveness at its core.
We are determined to improve and modernise our culture and ways of working. This will ensure that the public and professionals feel confident in our work.
About the team and what we do
The Digital Services Team sits within the NMC’s Information Technology department and is responsible for delivering the technology that underpins how the organisation operates as a regulator. We work across the NMC to ensure digital investment is aligned with organisational priorities, delivers value and supports public protection.
This role sits at the heart of Digital Services, working closely with the Head of Digital Services, Power Platform Lead, Enterprise Architect, IT Business Partner and Principal Business Analyst. You’ll also collaborate across Data and Technology Services teams to ensure that technology initiatives are joined up, well-governed and delivered in the right order to maximise impact.
The team values clarity, collaboration and purposeful delivery, ensuring that technology choices support both immediate operational needs and the NMC’s long-term digital strategy.
In this role, you’ll oversee the NMC’s technology portfolio, ensuring that projects and initiatives are aligned with business goals, the technology roadmap and the wider corporate portfolio. Acting as a bridge between technical teams and business stakeholders, you’ll enable informed decision-making, manage dependencies and help prioritise work that delivers the greatest value.
You’ll play a key role in evaluating and sequencing initiatives, identifying technical dependencies, and communicating the impact of changes to plans or priorities. Working closely with business partners, architects and delivery teams, you’ll help shape demand, allocate resources effectively and ensure delivery remains aligned with strategic objectives.
Through active risk management, performance monitoring and strong governance, you’ll help ensure that technology initiatives are delivered efficiently and consistently. Your work will provide clear insight into portfolio health and performance, supporting continuous improvement and confident decision-making at senior levels.
You’ll bring a strategic, purpose-led mindset, with the ability to connect technology delivery to organisational outcomes and public protection. You’re confident working across complex, multi-stakeholder environments and can balance competing priorities while maintaining a clear focus on value and risk.
You’ll be comfortable working with delivery frameworks, project and portfolio data, and governance processes, using insight to guide decisions and communicate clearly with stakeholders. You’re an effective collaborator and influencer, able to bring people together around shared goals and foster strong working relationships across technical and non-technical teams.
Above all, you’ll bring clarity, leadership and a commitment to high-quality outcomes—helping ensure the NMC’s technology portfolio is well-managed, transparent and aligned with its purpose and long-term ambitions.

We have a number of employees at the NSPCC who are regrettably at risk of redundancy, following a significant restructure. In keeping with our values and our policies, if any of these individuals apply for a role and meet the minimum essential criteria, they will be given priority consideration. We hope that you understand our position on this and that this will not discourage you from applying. We cannot predict who, internally, will apply for a role, or whether they will meet the minimum essential criteria. Where no at risk candidates meet the minimum essential criteria, all applications will be considered as normal.

Technical Architect
Our vision is for safe and effective nursing and midwifery practice across the four countries of the UK – regulated and supported by the NMC – a fit for the future organisation, with fairness and equity at the heart of everything we do.
Our role is to protect the public and maintain confidence in the nursing and midwifery professions. As the largest independent regulator in Europe of more than 860,000 nursing and midwifery professionals, we have a crucial role in making this a reality.
We do this by setting and promoting high education and professional standards for all future and registered nurses and midwives in the UK and nursing associates in England.
We also ensure every nurse, midwife and nursing associate on our Register meets clear standards of conduct and practice which protects the public and the reputation of our professions.
We have a duty to investigate concerns and to take steps to protect the public in the relatively rare instances where we need to limit or restrict a nurse, midwife or nursing associate’s right to practise.
We are building a new NMC with integrity, fairness, respect, equity and effectiveness at its core.
We are determined to improve and modernise our culture and ways of working. This will ensure that the public and professionals feel confident in our work.
About the team and what we do
The Digital Services Team sits within the NMC’s Information Technology department and is responsible for delivering the digital platforms and technology solutions that support the NMC’s role as a regulator. Our work enables safe, effective services and high-quality decision-making across the organisation.
This role sits within the architecture function and works closely with the Enterprise Architect, the Power Platform and analysis teams, and colleagues across Data and Technology Services. You’ll also collaborate with external Microsoft implementation partners to design and deliver solutions that are secure, scalable and aligned with our enterprise architecture standards.
As a team, we focus on strong technical design, clear standards and collaborative working, ensuring our Microsoft Power Platform continues to evolve in line with organisational priorities.
As a Technical Architect, you’ll be responsible for shaping the technical architecture of new solutions and enhancements built on the NMC’s Microsoft Power Platform. You’ll analyse business and technical requirements, identify appropriate solution options, and translate complex technical challenges into clear, implementable designs.
You’ll produce high-quality technical documentation and architecture diagrams to guide internal teams and external delivery partners through build and implementation. You’ll also play a key role in identifying technical risks, advising stakeholders on potential impacts, and recommending approaches that balance security, scalability and usability.
Throughout delivery, you’ll work closely with solution architects and delivery teams to monitor progress, troubleshoot issues and ensure that solutions integrate effectively with the wider technology landscape. Your work will directly support the delivery of robust, user-centred systems that enable the NMC to meet its regulatory responsibilities.
What you’ll bring
What you’ll bring
You’ll bring strong experience designing and delivering technical solutions within the Microsoft Power Platform and D365 ecosystem, alongside the confidence to engage with complex integration and security considerations. You’re comfortable working across legacy and modern platforms and enjoy solving challenging technical problems.
You’ll be a clear communicator who can explain technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders and influence decisions through well-reasoned advice. You take a structured, methodical approach to design and delivery, while remaining flexible and pragmatic when navigating competing priorities.
Above all, you’ll bring a collaborative mindset and a commitment to high-quality outcomes, aligning your work with the NMC’s values and purpose while helping to shape a modern, resilient technology platform for the organisation.
