Director of Digital Strategy & IT Services and Chief Information Officer, Keele University
The Director of Digital Strategy & IT Services and CIO at Keele University was a newly created post reporting directly to the Vice Chancellor, established to develop and deliver the University’s digital strategy, underpinned by efficient and effective IT services and to enable a more effective and secure approach to the use of their corporate information and the systems which deliver it. The headhunt campaign focused on candidates in comparable CIO roles both within other HEI’s and out of sector within large scale, complex multi-faceted organisations such as NHS trusts, large scale charities, local authorities and other government bodies such as HMRC. We also approached those currently responsible for delivering large scale IT transformation projects and those currently acting as Deputy / Associate Director of digital functions within large scale civic / Russel Group universities. During the research phase of the campaign we approached 143 people who matched this criteria. We managed advert response from jobs.ac.uk and the University’s own website alongside a selection of leading generalist recruitment websites and LinkedIn. We also utilised the RUGIT network to publicise the post within the sector. We met with the University to discuss an initial longlist of 20 candidates 10 of which we recommended for preliminary interviews. Having met with those candidates we presented a shortlist of 8 candidates for final consideration, 5 of which attended a selection day and panel interview at the University.
The successful candidate was one of those initially approached by the Management Recruitment Group whilst acting a Director of Business Change & Engagement in a large Russell Group University.
