About the role:
The London & South East Education Group (comprising London South East Colleges [LSEC] and London South East Academies Trust [LSEAT]) is seeking a visionary and strategic Group Head of Emerging Technologies & Trust Information Systems to shape and drive the Groups adoption of AI and emerging digital tools in education and operations. This cross-cutting role will sit outside of existing IT and Estates accountabilities and instead act as a dedicated force for innovation, curriculum transformation, and strategic enablement.
This newly created role leads the Groups strategic development and practical enablement of AI and emerging technologies, transforming pedagogy and business operations alike.
Operating across both the College and the Trust, this position ensures that teaching, learning, and business operations are transformed through smart use of emerging technologies—enabling future-ready environments, modernised workflows, and reduced administrative burdens. This includes reimagining working practices to improve efficiency, empower staff, and enhance the learner and employee experience, all underpinned by responsible governance and inclusive access.
This role enables and empowers innovation rather than controlling it—creating the conditions, infrastructure, and policy landscape to support curriculum and operational leaders in their own digital transformation.
