The Opportunity

This is a pivotal, board-level role with dual accountability:

ensuring the resilience and performance of a critical technology estate, while accelerating digital transformation across the organisation.

• Lead digital transformation across platforms, data, automation and insight

• Drive the evolution of enterprise architecture, cloud environments and data capability
• Champion technology as a business enabler, improving service delivery and decision-making
• Lead complex change and transformation programmes across the organisation
• Build and inspire high-performing technology and digital teams
• Manage strategic vendors, partners and technology investment
• Act as a trusted advisor to the executive team, influencing at the highest level

About You

You are an experienced technology leader (CTO, CIO, CDIO or equivalent) who brings both operational depth and strategic vision.

• Proven track record of running enterprise IT alongside digital transformation
• Strong expertise across infrastructure, cloud, data, applications and cybersecurity
• Commercially minded, with a clear view of how technology drives business outcomes
• Comfortable operating in complex, regulated or data-sensitive environments
• A credible, influential leader who can challenge, align and deliver at executive level
• Pragmatic and delivery-focused, balancing innovation with operational stability

Why Join Optima Health?

• Play a central role in shaping the digital future of a market-leading healthcare organisation
• Influence at C-suite and board level with real accountability
• Work in a business where technology directly impacts health outcomes and workforce wellbeing
• Lead transformation that is both commercially meaningful and socially impactful

Location

UK-based, hybrid working with travel across multiple sites. This is a visible leadership role requiring regular in-person engagement.
