The CCIO will provide strategic leadership across all public fundraising and commercial activities, ensuring that innovation and creativity are embedded in how we connect with partners, donors, and the public. As markets and the wider sector move rapidly toward digital, data-driven, and cross-functional approaches, we need a visionary leader who can navigate this change and turn opportunity, particularly around creative tech, into sustainable impact.
