Head of Technology Operations

Full-Time On-site
U

I’m partnered with a leading UK charity, who are looking to hire a Head of Technology Operations to lead and improve their day-to-day technology operations function.


The organisation is currently going through a significant technology modernisation programme. This role will have a particular focus on strengthening the existing Technology Operations function, improving service performance and ensuring new technology can transition effectively into BAU.


The role will:



  • Lead Technology Operations across Service Desk, end-user computing and application support

  • Improve IT service management across incident, problem, change and major incident management

  • Establish stronger SLAs, KPIs, service reporting and continual improvement

  • Manage key technology suppliers and MSPs, ensuring performance and value for money

  • Lead and develop an established Technology Operations team through a period of change

  • Ensure new services transition successfully from transformation programmes into BAU

  • Help shape the future Technology Operations operating model


Skills required:



  • Strong leadership experience across Technology Operations, IT Operations or IT Service Management

  • Proven experience improving an underperforming or immature technology operations function

  • Strong knowledge of ITSM, including incident, problem, change and service performance management

  • Experience managing third-party technology suppliers and managed service providers

  • Strong people leadership and senior stakeholder management experience

  • Experience with ServiceNow or another enterprise ITSM platform would be advantageous

  • Charity or not-for-profit experience would be beneficial but is not essential


This would suit someone who has previously taken ownership of a Technology Operations function and delivered measurable improvements across people, process, suppliers and service performance, while working alongside a wider technology transformation.
