Delivering outstanding IT outcomes for one organisation can be challenging enough. Establishing a shared ICT service for three of the UK's best councils will be truly career defining. Are you the Chief Information Officer to make it happen?

You will shape, lead and develop a strategic ICT service that works alongside each council to deliver transformational change and provide greater value for money. You will build a highly skilled and flexible service, able to adapt to changing business needs and provide advice and support to each council.

To succeed in this role, you will bring exceptional inter-personal skills, enabling engagement at all levels across the three boroughs. Your empowering leadership style will ensure that staff develop to their potential, buying in to the vision for the service and embedding a culture of customer excellence in everything they do.

You will be able to demonstrate experience of leading large ICT services to positions of excellence. We will also expect you to bring evidence of successful sourcing and large scale contract management and deployment of key ICT standards such as ITIL, as well as the delivery of successful large scale projects and programmes.
