About DiSSCo UK The UK's natural science collections, comprising over 140 million items, are a vital global resource holding unique data on Earth's history and natural systems. However, their potential to address critical issues like biodiversity and climate change is limited by physical access and fragmented digitisation efforts, with less than 10% currently available digitally. To unlock this potential, DiSSCo UK (Distributed System of Scientific Collections UK, ) - a consortium of over 90 UK natural science collections led by the Natural History Museum - is developing a national infrastructure as part of the UKRI Infrastructure Roadmap. This 10-year program, expected to receive around £155 million in investment, will focus on digitising a critical mass of collections into FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) data, supported by robust technology and innovative approaches like AI and robotics. Having already mobilised over 16 million records, DiSSCo UK aims to significantly accelerate digitisation from 2026, creating an unprecedented resource that promises substantial economic returns, efficiency savings for researchers, and groundbreaking research opportunities for a thriving future for both people and planet. About the role As Head of Engineering, you will provide strategic technical leadership for the infrastructure required to deliver the DiSSCo UK programme, working at the intersection of science, data, and large-scale digital services. This is a rare opportunity to shape the national digital platform that will underpin the UK's contribution to DiSSCo and unlock the potential of over 140 million natural science collection items. You will act as the technical authority for platform architecture and underlying infrastructure, leading the design and integration of a secure, sustainable, and scalable ecosystem. This will combine procured cloud-based services, delivered in partnership with AHRC/UKRI and commercial suppliers, with bespoke, mission critical components developed in house. You will own the technical roadmap across built and bought services, ensuring architectural coherence, interoperability and alignment with programme standards. Your focus will be on integrating the full infrastructure: cloud environments, storage solutions, data mobilisation pipelines, publishing workflows and access platforms into a unified national system. You will work closely with the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) as the primary access service, acting as a key technical partner in delivering globally discoverable biodiversity data. Based within the Natural History Museum's Digital, Data and Informatics department, you will build and lead a high performing engineering team, providing both technical and people leadership as the programme scales. This role offers the opportunity to influence critical architectural decisions from the ground up and to deliver infrastructure with lasting national and international impact. About you We are looking for an accomplished engineering leader who thrives on delivering complex, high impact digital infrastructure (potentially with a start up or research software background). If you enjoy setting architectural direction, owning technical roadmaps, and guiding large scale platforms from specification to delivery, this is the role for you. You bring experience leading small, high performing engineering teams and working in partnership with programme leadership, external suppliers and managed service providers to turn vision into delivery. You are confident operating as the technical authority within a multi partner programme, making key design decisions, resolving trade offs, and ensuring solutions are secure, scalable and standards compliant. You value collaboration as much as technical excellence. You communicate complex technical concepts with clarity, build credibility with senior stakeholders and multidisciplinary teams, and ensure architectural coherence across diverse organisations and varying levels of technical maturity. Motivated by impact and legacy, you are excited by the opportunity to shape a nationally significant research infrastructure from its formative stages. You enjoy building and developing high performing teams, setting engineering best practice, and delivering robust, user centred solutions that will support the UK research and biodiversity community for years to come. This role could suit a current or former startup CTO, Principal Engineer, or technical founder who has built and scaled digital platforms and teams in complex environments.

To unlock this potential, DiSSCo UK (Distributed System of Scientific Collections UK, ) - a consortium of over 90 UK natural science collections led by the Natural History Museum - is developing a national infrastructure as part of the UKRI Infrastructure Roadmap. This 10-year program, expected to receive around £155 million in investment, will focus on digitising a critical mass of collections into FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) data, supported by robust technology and innovative approaches like AI and robotics. Having already mobilised over 16 million records, DiSSCo UK aims to significantly accelerate digitisation from 2026, creating an unprecedented resource that promises substantial economic returns, efficiency savings for researchers, and groundbreaking research opportunities for a thriving future for both people and planet. About the role As Head of Engineering, you will provide strategic technical leadership for the infrastructure required to deliver the DiSSCo UK programme, working at the intersection of science, data, and large-scale digital services. This is a rare opportunity to shape the national digital platform that will underpin the UK's contribution to DiSSCo and unlock the potential of over 140 million natural science collection items. You will act as the technical authority for platform architecture and underlying infrastructure, leading the design and integration of a secure, sustainable, and scalable ecosystem. This will combine procured cloud-based services, delivered in partnership with AHRC/UKRI and commercial suppliers, with bespoke, mission critical components developed in house. You will own the technical roadmap across built and bought services, ensuring architectural coherence, interoperability and alignment with programme standards. Your focus will be on integrating the full infrastructure: cloud environments, storage solutions, data mobilisation pipelines, publishing workflows and access platforms into a unified national system. You will work closely with the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) as the primary access service, acting as a key technical partner in delivering globally discoverable biodiversity data. Based within the Natural History Museum's Digital, Data and Informatics department, you will build and lead a high performing engineering team, providing both technical and people leadership as the programme scales. This role offers the opportunity to influence critical architectural decisions from the ground up and to deliver infrastructure with lasting national and international impact. About you We are looking for an accomplished engineering leader who thrives on delivering complex, high impact digital infrastructure (potentially with a start up or research software background). If you enjoy setting architectural direction, owning technical roadmaps, and guiding large scale platforms from specification to delivery, this is the role for you. You bring experience leading small, high performing engineering teams and working in partnership with programme leadership, external suppliers and managed service providers to turn vision into delivery. You are confident operating as the technical authority within a multi partner programme, making key design decisions, resolving trade offs, and ensuring solutions are secure, scalable and standards compliant. You value collaboration as much as technical excellence. You communicate complex technical concepts with clarity, build credibility with senior stakeholders and multidisciplinary teams, and ensure architectural coherence across diverse organisations and varying levels of technical maturity. Motivated by impact and legacy, you are excited by the opportunity to shape a nationally significant research infrastructure from its formative stages. You enjoy building and developing high performing teams, setting engineering best practice, and delivering robust, user centred solutions that will support the UK research and biodiversity community for years to come. This role could suit a current or former startup CTO, Principal Engineer, or technical founder who has built and scaled digital platforms and teams in complex environments.

The scope of our work is broad and the OEP s priority areas over the next three years are improving nature on land and at sea, clean water, planning and effective governance; as well as developing our work on the circular economy and waste and chemical regulation. Alongside analysing and commissioning scientific evidence on the natural environment, understanding policy is a key aspect of assessing how government is addressing its commitments and meeting its targets.

We make recommendations on how progress could be improved across environmental goals, and plans. We also provide advice on the adequacy of environmental monitoring.
