·Report to and deputise for the Assistant Director of Digital Innovation and Delivery.

This key role will be of interest to those who want to support the delivery of the Council’s technology roadmap to deliver better outcomes for our residents. You will be attracted by the opportunity to build upon the firm foundations already delivered, and design innovative solutions that will help transform how the Council works and ultimately improve the life of residents in this part of London.

You will be experienced and ambitious to lead on technical and digital aspects of architecture and be the authority for how we can develop and deliver the solutions we need in order to make the biggest impact. You’ll be inquisitive about innovation and focused on improving services and delivering savings. It will be essential to work in partnership internally and externally and welcome collaborative working; as well as be a great communicator and stakeholder manager.

You will have a proven track record of designing and delivering successful systems architecture and leading engaged and effective teams. The role calls for a pragmatic individual who has both a strategic view and the desire to roll up their sleeves to get things done. You will have an impressive track record of working on systems architecture change and promoting excellent operational performance in tandem, someone who can deliver at pace within tight budget circumstances – focussing on making a real difference to the council services and end users.
