**About the role**
A key strategic priority for the University of Oxford is to preserve its
unique place in the world by being digitally fit for the future. Oxford has
embarked on a high-profile multi-year digital transformation journey to
harness the power of digital and AI capabilities to evolve the institution’s
culture, processes, and technology. Across collegiate Oxford, we aim to make
it possible for students and staff in all roles to realise their fullest
potential in the digital era.
The creation of Oxford’s new Digital Governance Unit (DGU) is a vital step in
realising our digital ambitions. Over the next five years, the DGU will enable
the institution to transform how it delivers digital services. Primarily, the
DGU will:
* Help embed Oxford’s new digital governance framework and delivery model to better align investments with Oxford’s strategic priorities;
* Enable the shift to a more agile continuous improvement delivery approach which keeps end-users at the heart of digital services; and
* Through partnership and collaboration, nurture Oxford’s culture to help deliver University shared infrastructure services.
**About you**
* This role requires a dynamic leader with a compelling blend of strategic thinking, organisational change management, and interpersonal skills. There will be a strong emphasis on using soft power and contextual intelligence to inspire teamwork and unity across the collegiate University.
* The successful candidate will shape the vision and lay the foundations for a department that fosters collaboration, drives digital governance, and aligns with the institution’s digital ambitions.
**What we offer**
As an employer, we genuinely care about our employees’ wellbeing and this is
reflected in the range of benefits that we offer including:
* An excellent contributory pension scheme
* 38 days annual leave
* A comprehensive range of childcare services
* Family leave schemes
* Cycle loan scheme
* Discounted bus travel and Season Ticket travel loans
* Membership to a variety of social and sports clubs
This role also offers the opportunity for hybrid working.

the details of two referees as part of your online application.

**Interviews** will take place on **Thursday 12 December** and will be in
person.
