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
