About Us

We are representing a UK-based healthcare technology company dedicated to enhancing the efficiency of the NHS. Our flagship product is an asset tracking platform that enables hospitals and healthcare providers to locate essential medical equipment swiftly and effortlessly. This innovation not only saves time and reduces stress for staff but also allows them to focus more on patient care. Our technology has already demonstrated significant impact, saving the NHS the equivalent time of over 1,300 nurses per year and achieving a £43 million saving over five years from just a £1.5 million investment.

We are on a mission to help the NHS work smarter, not harder — and we are seeking a strategic, passionate CIO to lead this initiative.

The Role

This is not your typical CIO role. We are looking for a confident, NHS-savvy leader who can champion our technology across NHS organisations while ensuring the platform is technically sound, scalable, and NHS-compliant. Your primary focus will be on time savings – helping NHS Trusts and Integrated Care Systems (ICSs) adopt a solution that makes a measurable difference to staff workload and system efficiency.

Key Responsibilities

NHS Engagement

  • Serve as the external-facing tech leader, presenting our solution to NHS CIOs, ICS leads, and procurement teams.
  • Build and maintain strong relationships with NHS stakeholders and decision-makers.
  • Translate the platform’s benefits into clear NHS-focused outcomes (time saved, care improved, cost reduced).
