Digital Portfolio Director
The Digital Portfolio Director provides executive-level leadership, authority and accountability for the planning, prioritisation, governance and delivery of the Collaborative’s digital transformation portfolio.
The postholder is accountable for ensuring that all major digital transformation programmes are delivered safely, effectively and sustainably, including but not limited to Electronic Patient Records (EPR), PACS, LIMS, Microsoft platforms, data platforms and innovation initiatives. The role ensures that programmes are delivered to agreed-upon scope, time, cost, and quality standards, while actively managing risk and dependencies across a complex, multi-organisational portfolio.
Operating with very high autonomy and corporate authority, the role has system-wide impact on patient safety, clinical effectiveness, workforce productivity, financial sustainability, regulatory compliance and organisational reputation. Decisions taken by the postholder directly influence how care is delivered, how staff work, and how public funds are invested, carrying material clinical, financial and reputational risk.
