Information Technology Manager

35 hours per week. Flexible and part-time (to 0.8 fte) patterns considered.

Tommy’s is the leading charity that exists to stop the heartbreak and devastation of baby loss and make pregnancy and birth safe - for everyone.

This is an important moment for Tommy’s.

We are embarking on a period of transformation to allow us to grow our reach, awareness and impact.

We are investing in our data, systems and technology so that they are fit for the future and allow us to save more babies’ lives.

The Deputy Director of Data and Technology will lead this transformation – working closely with the COO to shape and deliver the strategy, governance and change needed for Tommy’s to thrive.

The role

This new role is a focal point for technology strategy, partnering the business in the capability of technology and data to increase front line impact and the charities goals.

• Lead Tommy’s data and technology strategies and roadmaps.
• Identify practical quick wins and longer-term priorities.
• Strengthen data governance, quality, insight and reporting.
• Improve integration and use of data across systems.
• Oversee core systems, outsourced IT managed service provider, cyber security and business continuity.
• Lead and develop the database team.
• Chair the Technology Advisory Group.
• Act as a visible, trusted business partner across the organisation.

About you

We are looking for a collaborative and credible leader with experience in data, technology and transformation.

You may come from technology leadership within charity, but you do not need to. We are open to candidates who will bring expertise and innovation from other sectors.

You will bring experience of

• Leading data, technology and change.
• Developing and delivering organisation-wide strategies or roadmaps.
• Managing systems, budgets and priorities.
• Developing outsourced MSP relationships to deliver value and service.
• Translating technical issues into clear, practical decisions.
• Influencing senior stakeholders and non-technical colleagues.
• Building trust and bringing people with you through change.

You do not need to be a deep specialist in every technical area.

You do need to be confident as a leader working across data, systems, technology, suppliers and organisational change.

Why Tommy’s?

This is a strategic role with real scope to shape the future.

You will join a mission-led organisation with ambitious plans, a strong platform for growth, and a commitment to using data-based evidence to drive greater impact.

Tommy’s also has a distinctive operating model, including research, partnerships and ownership of the London Landmarks Half Marathon, giving the role exposure to both charity impact and commercial activity.

We offer hybrid working, flexible working options, 25 days’ holiday plus bank holidays, enhanced parental leave, wellbeing support, pension, life insurance (*4) and personal development.

We discourage a long-hours culture and value quality, focus and impact.

Inclusion

Tommy’s is committed to building an inclusive organisation that reflects the communities we serve.

We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds, identities and experiences, including those underrepresented in senior data and technology leadership.

You do not need to meet every desirable criterion to apply.

If you are excited by the role and aligned with our mission, please send your application to Ivy Rock Partners for a confidential discussion.

Reasonable adjustments are available throughout the recruitment process.
