World Animal Protection is creating a new leadership role to bring unified strategic direction to our Technology, Digital, and Data capabilities. This is a rare opportunity to make this role your own and build the foundations that will shape how we make technology decisions, manage data responsibly, and deliver digital products for years to come.
As Technology, Digital, and IT Director, you'll be the single point of accountability across three interconnected domains. You'll design the technology architecture that every future system decision gets measured against. You'll build a data governance framework that makes every Directorate an accountable data controller in its own right. And you'll create connections across platforms that result in a coherent digital ecosystem.
