Who we are

Public Digital is a digital transformation consultancy helping global institutions thrive in the internet era.

We work with governments, international organisations and mission-driven institutions to help them adopt the ways of working needed to design, build and run excellent digital services. Our teams combine expertise in strategy, service design, technology, delivery and organisational transformation.

We operate globally, advising governments and institutions on six continents. Our work ranges from improving critical public services to helping countries build digital public infrastructure and shaping how emerging technologies such as AI are used responsibly for public impact.

We are a values-driven organisation. Attitude matters as much as skill, and we look for people who bring curiosity, kindness, initiative and a willingness to contribute to a collaborative and supportive culture.

Transformation is ultimately about people, and we believe lasting change comes from building great teams and empowering them to succeed.

Could this be you?

We're looking for a senior technology leader who can help organisations tackle complex challenges and make lasting improvements to how they use technology and data.

You might come from consulting, an in-house technology leadership role or a combination of both. Your background could be in engineering, architecture, data, digital transformation or another technology specialism.

What matters most is your ability to combine technical expertise with strategic thinking, build trusted relationships and help organisations turn ambitious ideas into practical change.

You'll be comfortable working with senior leaders while staying connected to the realities of delivery. You'll understand that successful transformation isn't just about technology. It's also about people, ways of working and building the capability to sustain change.

About the role

As Senior Director, Technology, you'll help lead and grow Public Digital's technology and data consulting work, specialising in UK Public Sector.

You'll work with senior client leaders on complex transformation challenges, helping them make informed decisions about technology, delivery and organisational change.

You'll also play an important role in developing our consulting offer, building client relationships, supporting business development and helping colleagues grow.

This is a senior leadership role that combines client delivery, commercial responsibility and the opportunity to shape the direction of our technology practice.

How you’ll make an impact

• Lead complex client engagements, helping organisations improve their technology strategy, digital delivery and long-term capability.
• Advise senior decision-makers, translating complex technical challenges into clear options and practical recommendations.
• Grow our technology consulting work, building client relationships, identifying opportunities and leading proposals and pitches.
• Shape our technology and data offer, working with colleagues to develop services that respond to changing client needs.
