The Opportunity

This is a rare opportunity to step into a highly visible, business-critical Head of IT role within a fast-scaling, multi-channel organisation.

You’ll take full ownership of technology strategy, systems, data, and infrastructure — shaping the next phase of growth. This is not a “maintenance” role. It’s about building, evolving, and future-proofing a technology function that directly impacts commercial success.

  • Own and deliver theIT strategy and roadmap, aligned to commercial growth
  • Take full accountability forsystems, infrastructure and day-to-day technology operations
  • Leadcyber security, data protection and compliance, ensuring robust, scalable controls

  • Define and govern theoverall technology architecture across platforms and integrations
  • Build and scale amodern data capability (warehouse, pipelines, reporting)
  • Manage and optimisethird-party technology partners and suppliers
  • Take full ownership of theIT budget, ensuring ROI and cost discipline
  • Build alean, high-performing internal team over time
  • Embed stronggovernance, risk management and operational controls
  • Act as atrusted advisor to senior leadership, translating technology into business value

  • ERP systems (selection, optimisation or transformation)
  • Data platforms and modern architecture
  • Cyber security and regulatory compliance
  • Experience working withoutsourced partners and vendors, holding them accountable
  • Ability to balancestrategic thinking with hands-on execution
  • Strong commercial instinct — able tosimplify complexity and influence senior stakeholders
  • Comfortable starting as astandalone leader, building capability over time
  • Excellent communicator, able tobridge technical and non-technical teams
Why This Role Stands Out
  • End-to-end ownership of the technology function
  • Direct exposure to senior leadership and business strategy
  • Opportunity tobuild and shape a tech function properly
  • A chance to makevisible, lasting impact in a growing organisation
  • Autonomy to make decisions — without unnecessary layers or red tape
Package
  • £80,000–£90,000 base salary
  • 10% bonus
  • Strong overall benefits package (health, wellbeing, development and more)
