• Technology – We are looking for someone with knowledge of delivering technology to large organisations, including your knowledge of technological innovation, digital transformation or emerging technologies, relevant to policing and crime.

Applicants should demonstrate strategic thinking, sound judgement, collaborative leadership, the confidence to challenge constructively in complex environments and a strong understanding of London’s diverse communities and policing challenges.
