Financial Ombudsman Service

At the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS), we make decisions on a range of complex and difficult issues. Every year we resolve thousands of disputes between consumers or small businesses and their financial service providers. We are a free and impartial service that aims to resolve customer complaints in an efficient and effective way, whilst sharing our insight with key stakeholders like the financial services sector and bodies such as the FCA and HMT.

We are looking to appoint a Chief Technology Officer (CTO) to join our team. The primary responsibility of the CTO is to lead and cultivate the IT team, spearheading our IT strategy, executing strategic technology-driven initiatives, and fostering a culture of customer-centricity and continuous improvement, all while ensuring optimal value for money.

Ideal candidates will have a strong track record of creating and executing IT strategies, and a broad understanding of technology solutions. They will think strategically, solve problems effectively, and improve IT delivery in complex operational settings. Good communication skills are key, both inside and outside the organisation, as well as the ability to influence others.
