Key areas of focus include:
- Leading IT operations and service delivery across multiple sites
- Driving cyber security, disaster recovery and business continuity initiatives
- Improving service performance through effective SLA and KPI management
- Overseeing infrastructure, cloud services and application support environments
- Managing supplier relationships and technology partners
- Supporting wider digital transformation programmes and strategic projects
- Deputising for the Director and contributing at senior leadership level
They are looking for a collaborative and forward-thinking technology leader with a strong track record of managing IT services within a complex environment. You'll combine technical credibility with excellent stakeholder engagement skills and a passion for continuous improvement.
You'll bring:
- Significant experience leading IT operations, infrastructure and support teams
- Strong knowledge of cloud technologies including Microsoft 365 and Azure
- Experience improving service delivery and driving operational excellence
- Exposure to cyber security frameworks and compliance standards
- The ability to lead teams through change and transformation
