We are seeking an experienced Head of Service Delivery to lead the end-to-end London Secure Data Environment Research Service. The London SDE is a jointly owned resource for London, bringing together linked, de-identified health and care data in a secure environment to support discovery, service improvement and research for public benefit.

You will own the researcher journey from first enquiry and feasibility through governance, onboarding, data delivery, analysis support and study completion. Working across the NHS, universities, life sciences and technical partners, you will turn complex user needs into clear data, analytics and platform requirements—and translate technical constraints into practical advice.

This is a senior leadership role for someone who combines research-data expertise with outstanding delivery discipline. You will oversee a diverse portfolio, manage risks and resources, improve service standards, lead senior colleagues and build trusted relationships across London. You will champion strong governance, transparency and meaningful patient and public involvement.

You will bring substantial experience of complex research, data or digital services; confidence working with real-world health data, clinical informatics and feasibility assessment; and the ability to lead through ambiguity while keeping users, quality and public benefit at the centre.
