  • Collaborate across the organisation to align IT strategy with business objectives


Team & Structure

  • IT Service Desk
  • IT Projects Team
  • Core IT Function


This role requires a leader who can bring teams together, build alignment, and foster a high-performing culture.

Key Requirements

  • Proven experience in a senior IT leadership role (Head of IT or similar)
  • Strong knowledge and hands-on experience with Microsoft Azure / cloud-based environments
  • Demonstrated ability to manage third-party vendors and external partners
  • Solid understanding of IT contract management and supplier governance
  • Experience leading teams through change, transformation, or integration projects
  • Strong people leadership skills, with the ability to motivate and develop teams
  • Excellent communication and stakeholder management abilities


What We’re Looking For

  • Someone comfortable working in a lean environment with outsourced capabilities
  • A leader who understands both technology and people dynamics
  • Experience navigating complex organisational structures


What’s on Offer

  • Opportunity to shape and modernise an IT function
  • High-impact role with real ownership and visibility
  • Flexible hybrid working
