Requirements
Must:
We are looking for a dynamic and forward-thinking leader with deep expertise in digital innovation, artificial intelligence, data, and automation. You should possess a strategic mindset and have a proven ability to lead transformative initiatives that deliver measurable impact across complex organizations. The ideal candidate will have extensive experience in strategic planning and change management, with the confidence to influence and engage senior stakeholders across the University and beyond. A collaborative approach and a passion for developing others will be key to building high-performing teams and fostering a culture of innovation. You should also have a strong track record of delivering digital transformation programs that enhance operational efficiency and user experience. Your ability to translate complex ideas into practical solutions will be essential in driving the University’s digital agenda forward. A relevant postgraduate qualification (Level 7 or 8) is highly desirable, and while experience in higher education is a plus, it's not essential.

You will lead a newly formed team of technologists, product specialists, and change managers, driving measurable improvements in experience, efficiency, and outcomes. Your mission is to embed innovation and AI across the University, championing a culture of experimentation and agile working. You will advise university leaders and governance bodies on digital investment and transformation, providing expert insight backed by data and evidence. Additionally, you will monitor the impact of digital initiatives using feedback and performance metrics to refine and enhance delivery. This iterative approach will ensure that innovation efforts remain aligned with stakeholder needs and institutional goals. Finally, you will build and nurture strong partnerships both internally and externally, leveraging expertise and emerging trends to inform and accelerate the University's digital journey.
Description
We are excited to offer you the chance to make a lasting impact in a forward-thinking environment that values creativity, collaboration, and continuous improvement.
