You'll be responsible for shaping and executing a divisional technology roadmap that supports both organic growth and acquisition integration, while ensuring alignment with broader business goals.

Key Responsibilities:

Technology Strategy & Architecture:
Translate business needs into a clear, actionable technology roadmap.
Design scalable solutions to support future growth and acquisitions.
Ensure alignment with group-wide technology standards and direction.
Project Delivery & Transformation:
Lead and deliver key IT initiatives across infrastructure, cloud, cybersecurity, and business systems.
Act as the escalation point for IT-related issues and manage external delivery partners.
Support integration of newly acquired businesses into the existing technology landscape.
Vendor & Supplier Management:
Own relationships with third-party technology vendors, ensuring performance, resilience, and value.
Oversee renewals, contract negotiations, and service delivery.
Evaluate and evolve the supplier strategy as the business grows.
Operational Support & Governance:
Refine and implement support models for core platforms and services.
Define and lead governance frameworks for IT projects and service delivery.
Ensure robust cybersecurity practices and compliance across all sites.
Innovation & Data Strategy:
Identify opportunities to leverage data and emerging technologies (e.g. AI, automation).
Provide solution architecture guidance for efficiency and digital transformation initiatives.Ideal Experience:

Proven experience in a hands-on IT leadership role, ideally within a high-growth or scale-up environment.
Comfortable working independently and managing through influence rather than direct reports.
Strong technical background across infrastructure, cloud, cybersecurity, and enterprise systems.
Experience managing third-party vendors and delivering complex IT projects.
Exposure to M&A integration or multi-site operations is highly desirable.
Willingness to travel regularly between Rotherham and Chesterfield sites and potentially further to other sites. Call Experis IT today on (phone number removed)
