Chief Digital Information Officer in London

Chief Digital Information Officer
East Sussex is a unique place. Home to over half a million residents, it\’s known for its vibrant cultural heritage, spectacular countryside & coastal landscapes, and diverse local economy. East Sussex County Council is a large, £1.1bn, high performing local authority that delivers over 100 different services to our residents, businesses and visitors seven days a week, 365 days of the year.

This is a moment of significant change in local government and arguably the most transformational time we have seen in the last 50 years. Local Government Reorganisation will create a new strategic mayoral authority and new local councils across Sussex and Brighton & Hove, at a time when digital innovation couldn\’t be more impactful. This is undoubtedly a once in a generation opportunity to be involved and make a real and lasting impact.

We are committed to harnessing the power of technology and data to improve outcomes for the people and communities we serve, strengthen our operations, and drive greater efficiency and sustainability. You will play a pivotal role in shaping this journey – leading our digital and information strategy, championing innovation, and ensuring that technology enables and empowers every part of our organisation.

We are looking for a visionary leader who combines technical expertise with strategic, service focused insight, and a deep understanding of people and culture. You will bring not only the experience to deliver complex digital and data initiatives, but also the ability to inspire, collaborate, and engage across diverse teams and stakeholders during a time of unprecedented change.
