The Department for International Trade is offering an annual salary of £125,000 in a bid to recruit a director of digital, data and technology.
The tech chief will be asked to “shape and oversee the delivery of a programme of digital service development co-designed to meet business need, deploying Agile methodologies”.
The post also comes with a remit to “set the direction for the management, governance and use of data to drive innovation and creativity in our service delivery”, as well as managing the use of technology internally by the department’s staff.
