This role is critical to our future success, and we are looking for someone with significant experience to provide inspiring leadership to the team and to build effective partnerships with external stakeholders, enabling the charity to become Digital at the core and make data driven decisions.
About the role
In this role you will translate strategy and ambition coming from trustees and the executive team into tangible and pragmatic delivery plans. You will also ‘horizon scan’ and ensure that the charity is always up-to-date on the possibilities that digital technology in particular, might make for those people and communities that we serve.
As a leader within the charity this pivotal role directly supports our Organisational Leadership Team (OLT), requiring you to also be responsible for inspiring, motivating and leading our people to deliver against our purpose and strategic objectives.

- Be accountable for a high level of service of our current systems, and providing leadership for business improvement projects across ICT, data and our suite of digital platforms.
- Act as overall Progamme Lead for the Data & Systems Transformation Programme, working closely with key stakeholders and our wider project and programme management team.
About you
You will have:
- Proven experience at a senior management level across ICT, Digital & Data and Change, ideally with proven success in a medium to large charity.
- Proven experience of creating and implementing transformation programmes embedding a culture of change across a complex organisation and articulating complex technical issues to a non-technical colleague group.

- Successful experience of creating and managing financial budgets and long-term strategic plans.
- Able to communicate complex concepts and new ideas clearly and persuasively to key internal and external stakeholders at all levels.
