Head of Digital

Staffordshire Police is at an exciting moment in its organisational journey, having refreshed its digital strategy, committed significant investment in technology and built a senior leadership team with genuine ambition for transformation. The force is now creating a dedicated function built on these foundations to drive the modernisation agenda forward.

The Head of Digital is a newly created role in Staffordshire Police's new Digital, Data & Technology (DDaT) service. You will establish the organisation's digital function from the ground up, define the use of data in the force, build a wide-reaching and cohesive team, and provide the strategic leadership needed to move the force from a paper-centric organisation to one which is genuinely digitally innovative.

Digital services are fundamental to how officers serve communities, how the public experiences the force, and how frontline professionals are freed from administrative burden to focus on what matters most. You will lead the modernisation of internal processes, cutting through paperwork, tightening workflows and making sure officers and staff have systems that enable them do their jobs more effectively.

This is a role for someone who thrives on creating something new. You will join an open, supportive organisation genuinely committed to investing in people and technology, backed by senior leaders who understand what digital can deliver. For a digital leader driven by real change, this is fantastic opportunity.
