Are you ready to lead transformative change that makes a real difference? Do you thrive on solving complex challenges and inspiring teams to embrace change? Are you passionate about using technology to drive innovation and modernise ways of working?
At Alzheimer’s Society, we’re on a mission to create a world where dementia no longer devastates lives. Our “Help and Hope” strategy drives everything we do, and technology is a key enabler in delivering impactful services for all people affected by dementia.
We’re seeking a Technology Transformation Lead (12-month FTC) to help shape and deliver a transformative programme of change during a period of significant growth. In this role, you’ll modernise our processes, systems, and ways of working, embedding sustainable improvements that leave a lasting impact. This role is about more than implementing new systems, it’s about ensuring they work seamlessly with the teams using them. You’ll drive efficiency across the organisation by fostering collaboration, streamlining processes, and embedding best practices into everyday ways of working.
As Technology Transformation Lead, you’ll work closely with colleagues in the Technology Directorate and across Alzheimer’s Society. You'll partner with teams responsible for planning and transformation, such as the Head of IT Delivery and the Project Management Office. Collectively, you’ll lead impactful change that furthers our mission to support people living with dementia and their carer’s.
How you’ll make an impact:
Design and deliver transformative changes to systems, processes, and ways of working, aligned with strategic goals.
Build relationships with stakeholders and external partners to develop and deliver a clear transformation strategy.
Foster a culture of accountability, empowering teams to embrace and embed change.
Align and integrate transformation efforts across all directorates.
Implement sustainable systems and behaviours that drive continuous improvement.
Use KPIs and insights to monitor progress, manage risks, and identify opportunities.
Lead cultural change through inclusive, compassionate leadership.
Embed equity, diversity, and organisational values into all transformation activities.
Why join us?
Your wellbeing and work-life balance are central to our success. Joining our team means making a meaningful impact while enjoying a range of benefits designed to support your personal and professional wellbeing.
We offer flexible working options, including homeworking and arrangements like 9-day fortnights, to help you balance your life and career. You'll also enjoy 27 days of annual leave (plus flexible bank holidays), dedicated wellbeing days, a cash health plan, access to a virtual GP, life assurance, enhanced parental leave, and many more benefits that prioritise you.
At Alzheimer’s Society, we’re committed to investing in our people. If your role would benefit from training or certifications, we’ll support your professional development to help you achieve your career goals.

About Alzheimer's Society
At Alzheimer's Society, we believe passionately that life doesn't end when dementia begins. We are here for anyone affected by dementia, and we do everything we can to keep people with dementia connected to their lives and the people who matter most.
Everything we do is shaped by people affected by dementia. Their knowledge and experience are critical to bringing about real-world solutions. From choosing the most promising research through to telling their stories to raise awareness; they are the heart of this organisation.
Our Values
We are Determined to make a difference when and where it matters most, by being passionate, focussed and making a lasting impact for people affected by dementia.
Every one of us is a Trusted expert, listening, learning and using evidence and experience. We are Better together by being open, combining our strengths, helping us to achieve more together. We are Compassionate, we are kind and honest, and we don’t shy away from challenges.
Through our values we will make the greatest difference for people affected by dementia.
Equal Opportunities
We’re a national charity providing dementia support to a community that’s ethnically diverse, but we don’t reflect this in our senior leadership. This needs to change.
We need to ensure the voices around our table better reflect and understand the communities we exist to serve. We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds, particularly those from ethnically diverse communities who are traditionally underrepresented in the charity sector leadership roles.
We want everyone we work with, as a colleague, volunteer, supporter, or someone we support, to feel included and that they belong at Alzheimer's Society.
We are committed to building a diverse organisation that represents the communities we serve and ensuring inclusion in everything we do. During your recruitment process we want to make sure that you bring your whole self and be at your best.
About the Company
We want a world where dementia no longer devastates lives. That’s why we give help to everyone living with dementia today, and hope for the future. Know more
