You'll set the vision and lead the delivery of resilient, scalable platforms and services that enable seamless resident experiences and smarter ways of working. You'll own our digital strategy and roadmap; strengthen cyber security, disaster recovery and business continuity; and accelerate automation, data and AI adoption where it adds real value.

You'll lead a high-performing multidisciplinary team; embed user-centred design and agile delivery; and make sure we're getting full value from strategic partners and suppliers, including contract and vendor management in a multi-vendor environment.
