Ready to take ownership of an entire IT Operations function?

I'm partnering with a growing, technology-driven organisation looking for a Head of IT Operations to lead a critical function that's central to the success of the business. 

This is a role for someone who enjoys building high-performing teams, improving services, solving operational challenges and ensuring technology enables growth rather than getting in the way.

You'll have responsibility for the performance, security and reliability of a broad technology estate, while leading a team and helping shape how technology services evolve over the coming years. 

What you'll be doing

  • Leading IT Operations across infrastructure, cloud services, networks, cyber security and end-user technology. 
  • Developing and coaching a high-performing technical team.
  • Driving service excellence through effective incident, problem and change management.
  • Owning resilience, business continuity and operational cyber security.
  • Managing technology partners and suppliers while building strong relationships across the wider business.

What we're looking for

You'll likely have experience in a Head of IT, IT Operations Manager, Infrastructure Manager or similar leadership role and be comfortable leading teams in a fast-paced environment.

We're interested in people who can demonstrate:

  • Experience leading IT Operations or Technology Services functions.
  • Strong knowledge of cloud, infrastructure and service management.
  • A track record of improving operational performance and service delivery.
  • Experience managing suppliers, budgets and stakeholders.
  • The ability to balance strategic thinking with operational execution. 

You don't need to tick every box, but you should have the credibility and experience to lead a broad technology operations function and drive positive change.

Why apply?

  • Genuine leadership role with influence across the organisation.
  • Opportunity to shape how Technology Operations evolves.
  • Broad remit covering people, process, technology and suppliers.
  • Growing business with ambitious plans.
  • Visible role with the chance to make a tangible impact from day one.

Interested?
