Digital Transformation Lead

'Embracing Technology', 'Data Culture & Insight' and 'Maximising Technology Benefit' are three of our strategic 'digital objectives'. Working with our tenants we need to find ways that support the introduction of improved customer-focused technologies as well as ensuring traditional channels are maintained. We must also ensure we are using our data wisely to enable proactive and informed business decisions as well as leveraging maximum benefit from our existing technologies, whilst keeping one eye firmly on future developments.

What we need you to do:

• Align your approach with Red Kite’s Leadership Model – taking ownership, being accountable, supporting your colleagues and demonstrating behaviours that engender trust and collaboration
• Develop, implement, and maintain the overall strategic direction for our current and future technologies – working collaboratively with the Progress Pod management team where relevant
• Work closely with the Executive and Senior Management Teams to provide input into our overall strategic vision and plans
• Identify and manage risks relating to innovation ideas, providing the business with the necessary assurance in how these are mitigated.

Where you have come from:

• Proven experience of developing and implementing digital strategies and the achievement of identified strategic objectives
• Experience of implementing/working with programme governance frameworks and working to improve the digital culture of an organisation
• A background of deploying and working to programme and project management best practices
• Experience of commercially managing strategic suppliers in an IT environment.

Please note: We occasionally close vacancies early in the event we receive a high number of applications, so we advise you to submit an application as early as possible.

35-hour week pilot

Since June 2024 we have been piloting a change to our normal full-time, 37-hour 5-day week. Over 12 months we are trialling a shorter 35-hour week (for the same pay as before) where staff work a full day Monday to Thursday and finish the working week at 1pm every Friday. It’s just a pilot at this stage while we evaluate its impact on our staff, our tenants, and the service we provide, but if successful we will consider a permanent move to this way of working in 2025.
