Chief Information Officer (CIO)
This is a rare opportunity for an experienced healthcare CIO to shape the technology direction of a medium-sized, not-for-profit healthcare organisation at a meaningful stage of its evolution.
The organisation has a solid clinical and operational foundation and is now looking for a CIO who can modernise systems, strengthen governance and cyber resilience, and lift digital capability without losing sight of purpose, patients and people.
Reporting to the CEO and working closely with the Executive Team and Board, you will have genuine influence over strategy and investment decisions, and the autonomy to drive change.
