Head of Content Strategy
Background:
Agilio Software is a leading UK healthcare operations software provider, delivering integrated, mission-critical solutions that support primary care, dental, pharmacy, hospital and veterinary organisations. With ambitious growth plans underway, we are looking for talented individuals to join us on this exciting journey.
The Role
Agilio's content helps healthcare professionals improve clinical quality, meet compliance requirements and develop their skills. It underpins trusted solutions across Primary Care, Dental, Hospital and emerging sectors, supporting our continued growth into new markets and geographies.
The Head of Content will lead a unified content function, combining strategic direction with ownership of the operating model, core content, standards, tools and production improvement. Set priorities and hold overall accountability for performance, with Senior Editors and content producers responsible for day-to-day editorial delivery and maintenance. Clinical leads will retain responsibility for specialist clinical judgement and accreditation.
The role will focus on making content structured, modular and reusable across digital learning, in-product guidance, compliance workflows and AI-powered features. This is a full-time leadership position that combines strategic oversight with practical involvement in improving how the function operates.
