In this role, you will provide clarity and direction across an evolving technology landscape by defining a practical IT and digital strategy and roadmap that supports wider transformation objectives. You will lead an established team to ensure day-to-day IT services remain stable, resilient, and effective, while also delivering longer-term improvements across systems, data, and ways of working. You will shape how technology enables frontline services, improve integration across core platforms, and support more insight-led decision-making through better use of data.
