You’ll co‑design with educators and operations, work closely with Group IT, and oversee partners/vendors to ensure interoperability and measurable value for students, families, and staff.

• Deliver Products: Lead discovery and delivery of high‑impact initiatives (admissions, parent engagement, classroom tools, workflow automation).
• Hands‑On POCs: Prototype solutions yourself (e.g., Python utilities, Power BI dashboards, low‑code apps, API integrations) to de‑risk and accelerate adoption.
• Data & AI: Stand up analytics foundations and operational dashboards; run an AI sandbox (chatbots, document intelligence, workload reduction) with human‑in‑the‑loop controls.
• Interoperability & Compliance: With Group IT, implement secure integrations, SSO/RBAC, and privacy‑by‑design under PDPA.
• Partners & Change: Run RFPs/SOWs, manage SLAs, and drive change enablement with campus “digital champions.”

• Stakeholder Leadership: Confident working with principals, teachers, and functional leads; strong vendor and project delivery management.
• Fast‑Paced Execution: Bias to action, measurable outcomes, and benefits realisation.
• Nice to Have: Experience in the education sector (international/K‑12/higher ed), and relevant certifications (Agile, cloud, data).
• Experience & Education: ~5+ years in digital/technology/innovation with leadership of cross‑functional delivery; Relevant Academic Qualifications.
