About the job

Job summary

The Chief Technology Officer provides authoritative, strategic leadership for technology across the Health and Safety Executive, exercising strong judgement to ensure digital and technology services are secure, resilient, compliant and fit for a modern, science‑led regulator.

The role enables HSE to protect people and places from work related harm by ensuring technology underpins effective regulation and enforcement, scientific capability, and robust, evidence‑based decision making.

The post holder is accountable for shaping and delivering HSEs technology strategy, overseeing digital and IT platforms, and providing clear assurance on cyber and information security. Acting as the senior technical authority, the CTO leads enterprise architecture, technology risk management and governance, making proportionate, well evidenced decisions in complex and highly scrutinised environments. The role also shapes the CTO function and provides confident oversight of technology investment, ensuring public value, legality, resilience and long‑term sustainability.

Job description

Key Responsibilities:

Technology Strategy and Alignment to HSEs Mission

Own and evolve HSEs enterprise technology strategy, ensuring technology investment directly enables effective regulation, inspection, enforcement, scientific and laboratory services, and evidence-based decision making. Ensure alignment with HSE strategy, Government Digital and Data standards providing clear strategic direction on priorities and tradeoffs.

Enterprise Architecture, Platforms and Technical Standards

Act as the senior technical authority, establishing and enforcing enterprise architecture principles and technology standards, while providing assurance on legacy risk, technical debt and service resilience. Ensure effective and reliable business‑as‑usual technology services and shape a clear digital technology roadmap that supports future organisational needs. Ensure coherence and interoperability across regulatory, enforcement, scientific and data platforms and external systems.

Cyber Security, Resilience and Technology Risk

Be accountable for HSEs technology resilience, availability, and overall technology risk posture, working closely with cyber and security and information management and governance leadership. Ensure secure handling of sensitive enforcement, legal, evidential, and scientific data, and that disaster recovery, business continuity, and incident response arrangements are robust, tested, and continuously improved.

Governance, Assurance and Compliance

Establish and operate effective technology governance and assurance frameworks, including architectural review boards and technical design authorities. Provide clear assurance to the Executive Committee and Audit and Risk Committee, ensuring compliance with the Government Service Standard, Technology Code of Practice, data protection legislation, and broader public‑sector assurance requirements.

Major Programmes and Investment Oversight

Provide senior technical oversight and challenge for major technology investments, including system replacements, cloud and hosting services, and data and analytics platforms. Review business cases for feasibility, sustainability, risk, and long‑term maintainability, ensuring technology investments deliver value for money and are supportable over time.

Supplier, Commercial and Partner Management

Shape and oversee HSEs technology supplier strategy, ensuring effective management of strategic IT suppliers and specialist technical vendors. Reduce vendor lock‑in and technical dependency, and ensure contracts support security, scalability, resilience, and effective knowledge transfer.

Workforce, Capability and Culture

Define the future technology capability model for HSE, ensuring the right balance of in‑house expertise and external provision. Support the development of senior technology and digital professionals, embedding a culture of professional discipline, risk awareness, resilience, and continuous improvement.

Senior Stakeholder Engagement and Influence

Provide authoritative advice to the HSE stakeholders on technology risk, assurance, and strategic choices. Engage confidently with central government, sponsor departments, and other regulators, explaining complex technical issues in clear, non‑technical terms grounded in safety, evidence, and public trust. Represent HSE externally as required on technology matters.
