Join Kainos in a high-profile leadership role shaping digital transformation across major UK Healthcare organisations. This is a senior position with significant responsibility for delivering complex programmes, growing strategic client accounts, and influencing how healthcare services are transformed through technology.
We are looking for an experienced delivery leader with a proven track record of leading large, multidisciplinary teams in client-facing environments (ideally consulting or professional services) to deliver complex greenfield, bespoke software solutions. This is not a role focused on SaaS implementations, infrastructure, data centre, or operational support programmes—we need someone who has successfully delivered new, custom-built digital products and platforms from concept through to live operation.
What You'll Do
Lead the successful delivery of large-scale digital transformation programmes for UK Healthcare clients.
Direct multiple cross-functional teams, suppliers, and partners to deliver outcomes that create measurable value for users.
Build trusted relationships with senior client stakeholders, including Director and CxO-level leaders.
Own programme governance, financial performance, risk management, and delivery assurance.
Drive account growth by identifying opportunities, supporting strategic account planning, and contributing to bids, tenders, and pre-sales activities.
Develop, mentor, and inspire high-performing delivery teams.
What We're Looking For
Essential Experience
Significant experience leading complex software delivery programmes within a client-facing consulting, digital services, or professional services environment.
Proven success leading multidisciplinary teams (50+ people) delivering bespoke greenfield software solutions, including cloud-native and data-driven platforms.
Strong commercial acumen, including ownership of programme financials, forecasting, profitability, governance, and risk management.
Experience growing existing client accounts through relationship management, opportunity identification, and strategic conversations.
Demonstrable involvement in formal bid responses, tender processes, and pre-sales activities, including shaping winning proposals.
Experience managing senior stakeholders and building trusted relationships at Director and CxO level.
Strong people leadership experience, including line management, coaching, and developing delivery teams.
Deep understanding of Agile delivery within structured governance frameworks.
Preferred
Experience delivering programmes within UK Public Sector and/or Healthcare organisations.
Experience managing programmes valued at £10m+ annually across complex, multi-supplier environments.
Why This Role?
This is an opportunity to lead some of Kainos' most strategically important healthcare engagements, influence significant digital transformation initiatives, and play a key role in growing our Healthcare business while developing the next generation of delivery leaders.
Key hiring message: We are specifically seeking leaders who have delivered large-scale bespoke software development programmes in a client-facing environment and who combine outstanding delivery leadership with strong commercial, account growth, bidding, and pre-sales experience.
