A major public organisation with a critical role in London’s environmental and infrastructure future is hiring a senior leader to take ownership of its technology and data strategy.

With a complex service footprint and major projects already underway, this is an opportunity to lead at scale and shape the future of digital and data capability across essential public services. The incoming Director will oversee two specialist teams covering digital platforms, infrastructure, operations, data analytics, and information governance.

The role involves both strategic planning and day-to-day oversight. You will be working closely with a wide range of stakeholders — from engineering partners to elected members — guiding delivery while building digital maturity across the organisation.

What makes this opportunity stand out:

• Play a key leadership role in one of the UK’s most ambitious environmental infrastructure programmes
• Influence cross-sector partnerships and high-profile stakeholders
• Work on meaningful, socially impactful challenges at the intersection of technology, data, and public service
• Join a forward-thinking leadership team committed to innovation, inclusion, and long-term impact

Benefits include:

• 27 days annual leave (rising with service), plus bank holidays
• Local Government Pension Scheme with employer contributions of approximately 20 percent
• Flexible hybrid working
• High-trust, outcome-focused culture
• Career development support, interest-free season ticket loans, and a range of wellbeing services

Ideal experience includes:

• Leadership of digital, data, or technology functions in complex or regulated settings
• Confidence working across technical delivery, data strategy, and governance
• Ability to influence senior executives, operational partners, and non-technical audiences
• Experience in infrastructure, utilities, local services, or public-private partnerships would be a strong advantage

This is a rare opportunity to take on a highly visible leadership role at the intersection of public value and digital transformation.
