Fashion should be fast, fearless, and future-ready. Customers demand style at speed. This business, like many other successful fashion businesses, delivers a seamless shopping experience powered by up-to-date technology and - critically - a team that ensures a smooth, safe digital space.

We're working with a fashion retail business that is looking for an IT Director to lead their tech team and work closely with the rest of the senior leadership team.

The Role:

As IT Director, you'll lead all aspects of the technology strategy, infrastructure, and innovation. You'll ensure stores, websites, apps, and data systems perform at their very best - and crucially, you'll spot tomorrow's opportunities before they become yesterday's news.

This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who thinks as commercially as they code - someone who knows technology is only as good as the value it delivers.

Key Responsibilities:

Strategic Leadership: Set and execute a tech roadmap that underpins growth, profitability, and exceptional customer experience across all channels.
Digital Commerce Excellence: Oversee the development, security, and performance of online platforms, ensuring they stay slick, scalable, and customer-obsessed.
Operational Reliability: Ensure in-store and back-office systems run like clockwork - payment systems, EPOS, inventory management, and beyond.
Cybersecurity and Compliance: Protect the business and its customers with robust security policies, staying a step ahead of emerging threats and data regulations.
Data Mastery: Champion the smart use of customer, sales, and supply chain data to drive actionable insights, personalisation, and strategic advantage.
Team Leadership: Inspire, grow, and empower a high-performing IT team. Foster a culture of curiosity, agility, and innovation.
Supplier Management: Build strong relationships with external technology partners, negotiating contracts and ensuring outstanding service delivery.
Innovation and Future-Scanning: Keep an eye on what's next - from AI styling bots to blockchain supply chain tracking - and weave it into our thinking.

About You:

Proven experience leading IT strategy in a fast-paced retail (ideally fashion) environment.
Deep knowledge of e-commerce platforms, CRM systems, cloud architecture, EPOS systems, and digital security best practices.
A commercial brain with a technical heart.
Track record of building and leading high-performing teams.
Resilient, future-focused, and calm under pressure - you love the buzz of retail and the pace of fashion.

Our Client:

Because tech isn't an afterthought in this business - it's at the very heart of how they move faster, think bigger, and serve customers better. You'll have real influence and the chance to make a tangible impact every single day.

You'll work in a team of passionate, driven individuals aligned on goals and values, and feel challenged and developed in equal measure.

Where to Advertise Cyber Security Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Advertising cyber security jobs in the UK requires a different approach to most technical hiring. The candidate pool is small, heavily vetted and in high demand across government, financial services, critical national infrastructure and the private sector simultaneously. Many of the strongest candidates hold active security clearances, are not actively job-searching through general platforms, and move primarily through specialist networks and trusted referrals. General job boards reach a broad audience but lack the specificity that security professionals expect. Specialist platforms, government-affiliated channels and cleared candidate networks each serve a different part of the market. This guide, published by CybersecurityJobs.tech, covers where to advertise cyber security roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

Cyber Security Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

Cyber security is one of the few sectors where demand for talent has never once dipped. Every major technological shift of the past decade — cloud migration, remote working, AI adoption, the proliferation of connected devices — has expanded the attack surface that security professionals are expected to defend. And every expansion of that attack surface has generated more jobs. But the cyber security jobs market of 2026 is not simply a larger version of what it was three years ago. It is a structurally different market. The threats have evolved, the technologies used to combat them have changed, the regulatory environment has tightened considerably, and the roles being created reflect all of that. A job seeker who understands only the cyber security landscape of 2023 is already working with an outdated map. The candidates who will thrive over the next three years are those who understand where the sector is heading — which specialisms are attracting the most investment, which technologies are reshaping defensive and offensive security practice, and how the definition of a cyber security professional is broadening well beyond the traditional image of a network defender in a SOC. This article breaks down what the UK cyber security jobs market is likely to look like through to 2028 — covering the titles emerging right now, the technologies driving employer demand, the skills that will matter most, and how to position your career ahead of the curve.
