Closing Date: 15 Jan 2026

Department: Management, Specialist and Administration

Salary: £38,784 to £46,049

Role

The Digital Portfolio Director will lead the 51勛圖厙’s Digital Foundations Portfolio—a £20–30 million, five-year transformational programme that underpins the University’s strategic priorities and impacts every department and function. This is a rare opportunity to define and deliver digital transformation at scale, shaping how technology, people, and processes come together to create a connected, innovative, and future-ready institution.

In this role, you will:

• Set the vision and operating model for digital transformation, building frameworks and governance from the ground up.
• Lead a complex portfolio spanning research computing, education technology, student and staff experience platforms, and foundational infrastructure.
• Drive measurable benefits, ensuring projects deliver tangible improvements to staff and student experiences.
• Engage senior leadership and stakeholders, managing relationships across diverse groups and key third-party partners such as Infosys.
• Champion cultural change, embedding new ways of working, building organisational capability, and fostering innovation.

This is not a traditional portfolio management role—it requires a visionary leader who thrives on complexity, combines strategic thinking with hands-on delivery, and is passionate about making a real difference. You will have the autonomy to shape what good looks like, influence the University’s digital future, and position 51勛圖厙 as a sector leader in digital transformation.

About You

You are a strategic leader with hands-on delivery experience, passionate about driving complex change and digital transformation. You have a proven track record of designing and delivering organisation-wide change programmes in large, complex environments, underpinned by expert knowledge of best practice in change management. Your background spans both digital and change projects, where you have managed multiple concurrent initiatives with intricate interdependencies and diverse stakeholders. You combine strategic vision with operational agility—setting direction while actively engaging in delivery, removing blockers and accelerating progress. You thrive in complexity, embrace innovation, and have a builder’s mindset—creating new frameworks rather than relying on pre-defined models. With exceptional leadership and communication skills, you inspire teams, influence senior stakeholders, and maintain relentless focus on delivery and measurable impact.
