Lead Technology That Makes a Real Difference

This is a rare opportunity to take on a strategic IT leadership role at a pivotal moment of transformation.

The organisation has embarked on an ambitious Corporate Strategy 2025–2030, focused on delivering meaningful social impact—helping to address the housing crisis by providing high-quality, secure homes that support successful lives.

With demand for services increasing and expectations evolving, technology is central to success. As Head of IT, you will play a critical role in shaping and delivering the systems, data, and digital capabilities that underpin this strategy.

Why This Role Matters

The organisation operates in a rapidly changing and highly regulated environment, with increasing requirements for:

  • Robust data, reporting, and insight to support decision-making
  • Customer-focused, digital-first services driven by user needs
  • Secure, integrated systems that enable performance, compliance, and growth

At the same time, there is a clear strategic ambition to:

  • Deliver 20% more high-quality homes over the next five years
  • Invest in capability and technology to improve services and outcomes
  • Build a high-performing, values-driven organisation

This is where you come in.

About the Role

As Head of IT, you will own the operational delivery of IT strategy while shaping future direction. You’ll lead a high-performing function and ensure technology is an enabler of organisational ambition, customer experience, and innovation.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead the delivery and evolution of IT strategy, aligned to business goals
  • Drive the development of integrated systems and high-quality data capabilities
  • Ensure cyber security, resilience, and data protection across all systems
  • Oversee day-to-day IT operations, ensuring reliability and performance
  • Lead and develop the IT team, fostering a high-performance culture
  • Manage third-party suppliers and technology partners
  • Support organisational growth through scalable, future-ready technology solutions
  • Contribute at senior level, including board reporting and strategic decision-making

About You

You’re an experienced IT leader who thrives in purpose-driven, evolving environments:

  • Proven experience in a senior IT leadership role, delivering both strategy and operations
  • Strong track record of IT transformation, systems integration, and data-led decision making
  • Experience implementing secure, scalable, cloud-based and digital solutions
  • Ability to lead teams and influence senior stakeholders and boards
  • Commercially aware, with experience managing budgets and supplier relationships
  • Passion for using technology to improve services and outcomes for customers

The Opportunity

You will be joining at a pivotal point in a five-year transformation journey, where:

  • Technology is central to delivering better services, stronger data, and improved outcomes
  • You can shape the IT and digital roadmap from the ground up
  • Your work will directly support delivering secure homes and long-term stability for families
