Are you an inspiring, strategic leader with a passion for modernising services and driving whole organisation transformation?

Bridgend County Borough is a vibrant, well connected place, with strong communities at its heart. As we continue our ambitious journey of modernisation, we are seeking an exceptional individual to lead our corporate transformation and digital agenda. This is a unique opportunity to shape how services are delivered across the Council, championing digital innovation, service redesign and ambitious organisational change.

You will lead a diverse portfolio including a newly created Transformation team, Business Support, Digital, ICT and Customer Services. Central to the role is establishing a high performing Transformation Programme Office, strengthening governance across the council, and driving the pace and impact of change across the organisation.

With substantial senior experience in organisational transformation, digital modernisation or large scale programme leadership, you will bring strong political acumen, resilience, and the ability to inspire teams and stakeholders. You will champion new ways of working, embed robust programme management, and ensure our strategies deliver real benefits for residents and communities.

If you have the values, vision and drive to lead transformational change at scale, we would love to hear from you.
