Interim Chief Technology Officer (CTO) – AWS Cloud Transformation

This interim CTO role sits inside a growing, regulated technology organisation with a healthcare sector focus. The successful candidate will take strategic and delivery ownership of two concurrent programmes: a large-scale migration from on-premises infrastructure to AWS, and a comprehensive technology separation that removes shared hosting and service dependencies. Both programmes involve business-critical applications and require a leader who can balance strategic direction with hands-on technical credibility.

The role demands close collaboration with executive leadership, engineering teams and external technology partners. Governance, board-level reporting, supplier management and regulatory compliance (including cybersecurity and data protection requirements) all sit within scope. The position is fully remote and offered on an interim contract basis, with an interview process conducted via MS Teams.

• Oversee the modernisation of legacy technology platforms into cloud-native solutions.

• Provide technical leadership across cloud architecture, systems integration, cybersecurity and operational resilience.
