Job Introduction

Shape the Future of Our City

We are seeking an outstanding Chief Information Officer (CIO) to lead digital innovation and technology transformation across Milton Keynes City Council.

This is a rare opportunity to play a pivotal role at the heart of a forward-thinking organisation, driving the adoption of emerging technologies, including AI and data-driven solutions, to improve outcomes for our residents, communities, and businesses.

Reporting to the Director of Finance and Resources, you will act as a strategic partner to the Chief Executive, Elected Members and Corporate Leadership Team. You will help deliver organisational transformation while ensuring that our technology platforms are secure, resilient, and future-ready.

If you would like an informal discussion about the role before applying, please contact [email protected] to make arrangements.

Milton Keynes City Council’s ICT function has undergone significant modernisation, focused on building a secure, resilient, and future-ready digital foundation to support critical council services.

Key achievements include:

Cloud Transformation: Transition from an on-premise Azure VMware Solution to a native Azure platform, delivering enhanced scalability, resilience, disaster recovery, and cost transparency
Network Modernisation: Implementation of SD-WAN and consolidation of the wide area network to improve connectivity, performance, and sustainability
Cyber Resilience: Strengthening of security through a refreshed Cyber Incident Response Plan, enhanced monitoring, and plans for a managed Security Operations Centre (SOC) with 24/7 incident response
AI & Innovation: Scaling AI, particularly Copilot - from pilot initiatives into everyday use, supported by strong governance, risk frameworks, and benefits realisation
Partnerships: Leveraging suppliers and external partners to accelerate innovation and integrate AI into core systems

Together, these initiatives position the Council to operate on a modern, secure, and resilient digital platform capable of supporting services in an increasingly complex environment.

Interviews for this role will be held on 10th July 2026

At Milton Keynes City Council, we aim to make a difference every day. We’re dedicated, respectful and collaborative. We act as one council, and we work hard to create cleaner, safer and healthier communities while tackling inequalities and supporting people to thrive.

Strong technical knowledge across cloud platforms (Azure), enterprise infrastructure, cyber security, networking (including SD-WAN), and digital service delivery
Experience leading AI adoption and innovation, with a clear understanding of governance, risk, and value realisation
A track record of delivering large-scale programmes and change, balancing competing priorities and managing risk effectively
Strong commercial and financial acumen, including budget management and supplier oversight
