A key aspect of your responsibilities will be conducting business impact assessments and leading change readiness reviews. You will coordinate effective Digital Service support for the council’s portfolio of change projects and programmes, identifying strategic opportunities to reduce costs and manage financial pressures for the Digital teams.

Using data insights, you will inform the council’s future needs and develop comprehensive digital strategies. As part of your leadership role, you may deputise for the Enterprise Architect at senior organisational and external levels.

The ideal candidate will have familiarity with key digital technologies, including cloud computing, cyber security, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and big data analytics, coupled with a proven track record of driving digital innovation within an organisation.
Experience in policy analysis, formulation, and implementation is essential, as is proficiency in using data and evidence to inform policy decisions.
