This Role
In this senior role, you will lead high‑impact digital and service improvement initiatives for two key programmes of study within the School, providing strategic direction, robust governance and constructive challenge. You will work closely with academic colleagues, NHS partners, Professional Services teams and IT Services, influencing decision‑making and ensuring that our digital services are reliable, compliant and future‑focused.
