Are you a senior IT leader who enjoys combining strategic direction with operational accountability? Do you want a role where you can make a visible difference to service quality, cyber security maturity and digital experience across a large, diverse organisation at an important moment in its development? If so, this is an exceptional opportunity.
As Deputy Director of Technology Innovation and Development, you will bring together IT Support and IT Infrastructure into a single, coordinated function, providing senior operational leadership across all College sites. You will be accountable for service performance, cyber security, disaster recovery and operational resilience, owning end-to-end service delivery and ensuring that every member of staff and every student benefits from reliable, secure and user-focused IT services.
The Technology Innovation and Development department is going through an important period of growth and investment, with current priorities spanning service improvement, infrastructure resilience, cyber security maturity, cloud platform expansion and the better integration of Support and Infrastructure services. You will work closely with experienced technical teams and have real scope to influence operational standards, processes, reporting and the future direction of services across the College. This is a role for someone who wants to lead, not just manage.
