Job Description:

Chief Technology & Digital Officer (CTDO) – driving digital transformation and adoption

Location & travel: This is a multi-site business with operational locations across the UK. Hybrid working is the norm. But travel will be required across the UK. This isn’t a pure remote working role.

Optima Health

Technology. Health. Impact.

Optima Health is the UK’s leading provider of technology-enabled corporate health and wellbeing solutions, supporting organisations to build healthier, high-performing workforces. Through a combination of clinical expertise, proprietary technology, and flexible delivery, we help clients move from reactive care to proactive, preventative health strategies.

We are now seeking a Chief Technology & Digital Officer (CTDO) to shape and lead the next phase of our technology and digital evolution.

The Opportunity

This is a pivotal, board-level role with dual accountability:

ensuring the resilience and performance of a critical technology estate, while accelerating digital transformation across the organisation.

You will lead technology not as a support function—but as a core driver of business value, enabling Optima Health to scale, innovate, and deliver meaningful outcomes for clients and patients alike.

What You’ll Do

  • Define and deliver a technology and digital strategy aligned to Optima Health’s growth and purpose
  • Lead digital transformation across platforms, data, automation and insight
  • Oversee core IT operations, ensuring security, resilience and performance at scale
  • Drive the evolution of enterprise architecture, cloud environments and data capability
  • Champion technology as a business enabler, improving service delivery and decision-making
  • Lead complex change and transformation programmes across the organisation
  • Build and inspire high-performing technology and digital teams
  • Manage strategic vendors, partners and technology investment
  • Act as a trusted advisor to the executive team, influencing at the highest level

About You

You are an experienced technology leader (CTO, CIO, CDIO or equivalent) who brings both operational depth and strategic vision.

  • Proven track record of running enterprise IT alongside digital transformation
  • Strong expertise across infrastructure, cloud, data, applications and cybersecurity
  • Commercially minded, with a clear view of how technology drives business outcomes
  • Comfortable operating in complex, regulated or data-sensitive environments
  • A credible, influential leader who can challenge, align and deliver at executive level
  • Pragmatic and delivery-focused, balancing innovation with operational stability

Why Join Optima Health?

  • Play a central role in shaping the digital future of a market-leading healthcare organisation
  • Influence at C-suite and board level with real accountability
  • Work in a business where technology directly impacts health outcomes and workforce wellbeing
  • Lead transformation that is both commercially meaningful and socially impactful

Location

UK-based, hybrid working with travel across multiple sites. This is a visible leadership role requiring regular in-person engagement.
