• Drive seamless integration between retail, eCommerce, POS, CRM, PIM, DAM and OMS systems to enable real-time inventory visibility, fulfilment accuracy, and high-grade customer personalisation.
• Ensure resilient, scalable cloud and network infrastructure across stores, distribution, and head office.
• Strengthen cybersecurity, data protection, and IT governance frameworks.
• Optimise vendor relationships, licensing, and total cost of ownership across the full tech landscape.
• Lead, mentor, and grow a high-performing internal technology team, fostering a culture of delivery, ownership, and innovation.

About You

• Strong background of senior IT leadership within retail, eCommerce, or consumer-focused environments.
• Extensive experience delivering omnichannel transformations where digital and physical customer journeys converge.
• Hands-on leadership of D365 ERP and Salesforce Commerce Cloud implementations — this is essential.
• Strong architectural understanding of Azure, API integrations, and modern retail platforms.

• Commercially sharp, financially disciplined, and confident influencing at board level.
• A leader who is both strategic and hands-on — able to define vision and drive execution.

Why Join

• Lead one of the most significant retail technology transformations in the UK market today.
• Shape the global architecture and digital ecosystem of a highly respected brand.
• Work in a business that views technology as a strategic growth engine, not a back-office function.
• Influence omnichannel experience at scale across stores, eCommerce, and global customers.
