Director of Technology

We have a unique opportunity for a Director of Technology in the WMCA's Technology & Insight Directorate to shape the future of digital and technology at the heart of a region-wide transformation. As the WMCA embarks on an ambitious journey - redefining how we deliver services, embracing major programmes such as bus franchising, and deepening collaboration with partners across the region - digital and technology will play a critical role in enabling that change. We have created a brand-new leadership role to drive this transformation, reimagining how technology is managed, delivered, and experienced across the organisation and beyond. As the organisation grows in scale and complexity, you will lead the shift towards a more agile, product and service-led environment, ensuring technology is not only reliable and secure, but a true enabler of innovation and impact. This is an opportunity to step into a challenging and high-profile space, working with passionate colleagues and partners to deliver meaningful change that will benefit communities across the West Midlands. We are looking for someone with the experience, mindset, and ambition to lead through complexity - someone who is motivated by making a difference, thrives in transformation, and is driven to enable others to succeed. In return, you'll have an opportunity to shape services, systems, and infrastructure that underpin the region's future.
