Shape the Foundations of Technology Governance in a National Charity Undergoing Major Transformation

Were partnering with one of the UKs most recognised charities as they embark on a significant Digital, Data and Technology transformation.

Following the appointment of a new CIO and senior leadership team, the organisation is undertaking a full:scale restructure : modernising its technology function, introducing product:led ways of working and strengthening governance, risk and assurance across the organisation.

As part of this journey, they are now hiring a Head of Enterprise Governance : a critical leadership role responsible for shaping how decisions are made, risks are managed and change is delivered safely at scale.

This is a rare opportunity to join at the start of a transformation and build governance the right way from day one.

The Opportunity

As Head of Enterprise Governance, you will sit at the centre of the Digital, Data and Technology function, providing oversight across governance, enterprise architecture, cyber security, risk and compliance.

This is not about introducing bureaucracy. Its about creating clarity and control in a way that enables delivery teams to move with confidence.

Youll be responsible for establishing governance frameworks, decision:making structures and assurance processes that balance pace, risk and organisational priorities.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys:

Operating in complex transformation environments where structure is still evolving
Building governance, risk and assurance frameworks from the ground up
Influencing senior stakeholders and challenging constructively where needed
Creating proportionate controls that enable delivery rather than slow it down
Bringing clarity and consistency to ambiguous or changing environments

What Were Looking For

Senior experience across governance, risk, assurance, audit, security or compliance
A track record of building or improving governance in evolving or immature environments
Experience working across digital, data and technology functions
Strong understanding of governance frameworks (e.g. COBIT, ISO or similar)
The ability to translate complex risk into clear, practical decision:making
Confidence to influence and challenge senior stakeholders appropriately

Most importantly, youll be someone who can bring structure to complexity, create trust in governance processes and help an organisation deliver change with confidence.

Why Join?

This is more than a governance role.

Its an opportunity to shape how an organisation operates at a fundamental level during a period of real transformation.

Youll play a key role in building the foundations that will support long:term digital success : influencing how decisions are made, how risk is managed and how technology ultimately delivers better outcomes for the people the organisation supports.
