Do you want to help guide digital transformation to deliver nature's recovery?

Our client has a vision of land and seas rich in wildlife and people close to nature. They believe that nature is valuable in its own right, that everyone should have the chance to experience the joy of wildlife and that we are part of nature, wholly dependent upon it.

Our client is developing a new ten–year strategy setting out the collective impact they want to have as a movement. Although the strategy discussions are ongoing, it is already clear that they will be adopting a bold goal that, by 2030, nature will be in recovery with abundant and diverse wildlife everywhere, and that natural processes will be creating wilder landscapes where people and nature thrive. They have identified five strategic transformations that are needed to deliver this change. Digital transformation is one of these, as well as being an enabler to the other transformations.

The central charity needs someone to help guide this digital transformation to deliver nature's recovery. This role will work with external experts and stakeholders across the movement to co–develop business cases for change, using insights, new ways of working and digital technologies. You will support the development of funding bids for this work and oversee the delivery of these transformation projects, while supporting the upskilling of others, such that all Wildlife Trusts are strong and effective players.

You will have expertise in driving transformational change with a focus on digital, ideally in a complex environment, and will be familiar with emerging IT solutions. You will be comfortable and confident in engaging specialist colleagues across individual trusts and externally. You will draw upon our client's experience and innovative ways of working to gather information on what they are currently doing, expertise, appetite for change, risks and future opportunities.

You will enjoy working in a fast–paced environment, be organised and resourceful and be able to think strategically while having an eye for detail. You will have a clear passion for our client's cause and have excellent listening, collaboration and facilitation skills to help bring everyone together to ensure that they deliver to the highest standards and achieve the best outcomes for nature.

Our client values courage, respect, integrity, trust and responsibility. Whilst they are passionate in promoting their aims, they are not judgemental, and they are inclusive. They want their people to be as diverse as nature, so they particularly encourage applications from people who are underrepresented within their sector, including people from minority ethnic backgrounds and people with disabilities. They are committed to creating a movement that recognises and truly values individual differences and identities.

As a Disability Confident employer, our client is committed to offering an interview to anyone with a disability that meets all the essential criteria for the post. Please let us know if you require any adjustments to make the recruitment process more accessible.
