"Applying for a passport is now a seamless, self-service experience where renewals are printed and dispatched in just 48 hours. Our airport eGates support 76 million UK border crossings each year, with digitally assisted electronic travel authorisation decisions made in just 45 seconds. These aren't just technical achievements. They are real, measurable changes to improve millions of people's lives."
"Home Office Digital is also looking for a CTO for its enterprise services unit, which designs, builds, and operates core services including networks, end user services, and operational support for more than 35,000 users."
The Home Office's digital division is hiring three chief technology officers (CTOs) to lead migration and borders digital services and enterprise services. Two CTOs will oversee Migration and Borders Digital, which manages passport control eGates, electronic travel authorizations, passenger data services, digital identity, visas, asylum applications, and immigration status systems. The third CTO will lead enterprise services supporting networks, end user services, and operational support for over 35,000 users. The department highlights recent achievements including 48-hour passport renewals and processing 76 million UK border crossings annually through eGates. Mike McCarthy, the director general for digital and innovation, emphasizes these technical accomplishments represent measurable improvements to millions of people's lives. McCarthy joined the Home Office in January from McKinsey and the British Army, overseeing 4,000 people with a £1.8 billion budget.
