Head of Technology
Kirklees is firmly focused on the future. Our vision is to create a district with a strong, sustainable economy that offers a great quality of life to its residents - leading to thriving communities, growing businesses, high prosperity and low inequality, and where people enjoy better health throughout their lives.
When it comes to technology we have embarked on an ambitious and innovative journey and we are looking for a passionate and compelling advocate of change to join the senior leadership team.
Our new Technology Strategy was developed with staff, councillors, partners and communities. It sets out our direction. We need you to champion and lead its delivery and ensure that it remains relevant in the years to come. Covid-19 has tested much of its content and our operations in ways that we would have feared if we knew what was coming. But ask around and you will find that our technology and people have stood up to the test and the foundations in the strategy remain.
This role creates the capacity and input we need to drive fundamental and transformational change, gaining the most out of technology across the Council and partners. You will support and challenge existing ways of working and deliver joined-up approaches, with a focus on outcomes for people and communities. Just as important will be your political nous and your ability to work and inspire confidence within a political environment.
If you have excellent leadership and change management skills, the ability to understand and influence partners and a proven track record of success in delivering effective technology strategies and services, then we would like to hear from you.
Our Corporate Plan is being revised to work with the world in which we now live, but everything that is important to us and our communities remains.
