This isn't a "keep the lights on" IT role.
This is about rewiring how a major organisation thinks, operates, and delivers through digital.
We're partnering with a large, complex public sector organisation undergoing significant transformation - and they're looking for a senior interim leader to step in and take ownership of their digital, data and technology agenda at scale.
The Opportunity
You'll sit at the top table, working directly with the executive team to:
Set and drive a bold, future-facing digital & data strategy
Lead major transformation programmes across multiple services and partners
Embed AI, automation and data-led decision making into the core of operations
Oversee significant investment portfolios (£20m+) and ensure real ROI
Shape cross-organisational collaboration in a complex stakeholder environment
This is system-level leadership - not just internal change, but influencing across a wider ecosystem.
What They Need
This role is for someone who has:
Operated at CIO / CTO / CDIO level within a complex environment
Led large-scale digital transformation (ideally multi-site / multi-agency)
Strong experience across data strategy, platforms, cyber & architecture
The credibility to influence senior stakeholders, boards & external partners
A track record of delivering real change - not just strategy decks
Public sector experience helps - but impact matters more than background.
Why This Role?
£1,000/day impact role - not BAU, this is transformation
A chance to shape the future operating model of a major organisation
Work at the intersection of technology, people and strategy
High visibility, high autonomy, high impact
