Head of Transformation Strategy

This role is to lead projects to design and bring to life a tech-enabled vision for the future through deep collaboration.

With technology increasingly at the heart of multiple NHS strategies, the priority now is to move from technology and clinical services existing separately, toward fundamental reimagining of services through technology - to embed the principle of digital by default in order to ensure better and more sustainable outcomes for patients.

While the Transformation Strategy team works closely with technology teams this job is explicitly not a technology strategy role. It is about redesigning services and reimagining the NHS through the opportunities afforded by technology. It does not require the post-holder to be a technologist - only to be ambitious for how we could reimagine, and to be a brilliant collaborator.

You will work alongside the Finance and Portfolio Office teams of the Directorate, giving you a direct ability to influence the investment and programme delivery decisions necessary to bring the strategy to life.

The successful candidate will need exceptional strategy development, leadership, communication, and collaboration skills in order to ensure the NHS as a whole buys into the vision and comes together to deliver it.

The post holder must be able to work at pace in an environment of unparalleled complexity, and to not only set an ambitious big picture vision but demonstrate the grip necessary to help deliver it.
