Divisional Managing Director in London

Data is transforming industry. Across manufacturing, energy, nuclear, utilities and life sciences, organisations are under increasing pressure to improve productivity, optimise assets, reduce operating costs and accelerate the transition towards a more sustainable future. The organisations that will lead tomorrow are those that unlock the value hidden within their operational data today. ITI Group is helping make that happen.

With more than 50 years of heritage, over 300 colleagues and operations across the UK, Canada and Serbia, ITI Group delivers advanced automation, systems integration and digital transformation solutions to many of the world's leading industrial organisations. Backed by Private Equity, the Group is entering an ambitious new phase of growth with a clear objective to more than double in size over the next three years. At the centre of that journey is Digital Operations.

The Opportunity

Reporting directly to the CEO, this is an outstanding opportunity to lead one of the UK's fastest-growing industrial digital transformation businesses. Already representing approximately 50% of Group revenue, the Digital Operations division is a market‑leading provider of solutions that help industrial organisations transform operational data into measurable commercial advantage. Working with customers across critical infrastructure and manufacturing sectors, the division delivers solutions spanning:

• Industrial Data Platforms & AVEVA PI System
• SCADA, HMI & Industrial IoT (IIoT)
• Asset Intelligence & Condition Monitoring
• Business Analytics & Operational Performance

These technologies enable customers to improve operational intelligence, optimise production, reduce downtime, strengthen asset performance, enhance safety and compliance, lower operating costs and make faster, data-driven decisions. This is far more than a divisional leadership role. It is an opportunity to shape the future of a high-growth technology business with the backing, investment and autonomy to build something truly exceptional.

The Role

As Divisional Managing Director, you will have full responsibility for the strategic direction, commercial performance and continued growth of the Digital Operations business. You will:

• Own the division's P&L and growth strategy.
• Develop and execute ambitious commercial and operational plans.
• Partner with the Sales organisation to secure major strategic opportunities and expand key customer relationships.
• Drive innovation, productisation and the continued evolution of the division's digital solutions portfolio.
• Build, inspire and develop high-performing multidisciplinary teams.
• Work alongside the CEO and Executive Leadership Team to help shape the future direction of the wider Group.

Ideal Candidate

An accomplished commercial leader with a proven track record of growing technology-led businesses within industrial software, automation, systems integration, operational technology (OT), industrial IoT or digital transformation.

• Significant executive leadership experience with full P&L responsibility
• A track record of delivering profitable growth within complex technology businesses
• The ability to lead through change, build exceptional leadership teams and create a high-performance culture
• Credibility with customers, Boards, investors and senior executive stakeholders

This is a hybrid leadership role with offices in Sheffield, Aberdeen, Glasgow, Alcester and Saltaire, together with international operations in Toronto and Serbia. Regular UK and international travel will be required. This is a rare opportunity to take ownership of a market-leading Digital Operations business at a defining point in its growth.
