At Hestia, we are guided by our core values and are dedicated to fostering an equitable, diverse, and inclusive organisation. Our mission is to empower individuals to rebuild their lives and achieve independence. Right now, we are looking for a Director of Digital, Data and Technology to play a pivotal role in our Central Services in the City of London.

Sounds great, what will I be doing?

This role provides strategic leadership across data, digital and technology to drive coherence, assurance and insight within a mission-led organisation. The Director is responsible for shaping and delivering an integrated strategy that aligns technology and data with organisational priorities, improving outcomes for people facing disadvantage. This includes leading multidisciplinary teams, strengthening data governance and insight, overseeing digital transformation and IT operations, and ensuring robust information security, risk management and compliance. The postholder works closely with senior leadership to translate ambition into clear, prioritised plans, embed a user‑centred and evidence‑led culture, and ensure services are supported by reliable, inclusive and future‑ready technology and information systems.

What do I need to bring with me?

You'll need to be able to demonstrate the core skills this role requires as well as match our values and mission. You don't have to tick all the boxes right away; the important thing is that you're willing to learn. We also value lived experience of the areas we support, so if you feel comfortable, please do mention this on your application.

The role requires a senior leader with significant experience across data, digital and technology in a complex organisation, with the ability to develop strategy and translate it into clear, deliverable plans. Essential to the post is a strong understanding of data, insight and technology functions, alongside expertise in governance, data protection, information security and risk management. The postholder must demonstrate the ability to lead multidisciplinary teams, manage budgets and suppliers, and drive organisational change through user‑centred, evidence‑led approaches. Strong communication, analytical thinking and stakeholder engagement skills are critical, along with the ability to operate effectively within senior governance structures and influence decision‑making at executive level.
