The Royal College of Surgeons (RCS) is a historic and globally recognised professional body, dedicated to advancing surgical practice, improving patient outcomes, and influencing healthcare standards worldwide. With 26,000 members and a mission that touches clinicians, students, policymakers, and the public, the College plays a pivotal role in shaping the future of surgery.
RCS is partway through an ambitious programme of digital modernisation. Following significant recent investment in platforms, infrastructure, data systems and digital capability, the College is entering a new and exciting phase: turning strong digital foundations into genuine organisational transformation.
This is a rare opportunity to influence digital strategy at national level within an institution committed to modernising, becoming more agile, and expanding its impact across the health landscape.

About You
The College is seeking a strategic digital leader who can challenge constructively, inspire confidence, and bring fresh perspective.

· Understanding of data strategy, CRM value, and digital member/user engagement.
· Awareness of cybersecurity, technology resilience and digital risk.
· Knowledge of responsible and ethical AI, with a positive and future-oriented outlook.
· Experience in membership organisations, B2C digital engagement, or resource-constrained environments is highly advantageous.

· A natural coach and mentor who builds confidence in others.
· Comfortable challenging senior stakeholders constructively.
· Values-driven, collaborative, and motivated by public-good impact.
