You will bring understanding, experience, and connections – along with a clear vision and for how digital connectivity, innovation and economic growth can come together and how technology can transform public services. You will be a key part of the wider economic growth and policy teams and key stakeholders for this role will be our local authority partners and wider stakeholders such as the National Innovation Centre for Data.
