Ready to Lead IT Strategy for a Fast-Moving, Tech-Focused Organisation?
I’m working with a forward-thinking business that’s looking for a Head of IT to take the reins of their internal tech operations across the UK and Europe.
This is a pivotal role for someone who blends strategic vision with hands-on leadership—ideal if you’re ready to drive digital transformation, lead a talented team, and shape the future of IT in a business that truly values innovation.
What’s in it for you?
You’ll be heading up a skilled team of 20-30 across infrastructure, networking, cloud, applications, and service delivery—ensuring systems are secure, scalable, and future-ready. There’s a strong focus on modernisation, with some exciting programmes already in motion (think ERP, cloud migration, and automation).
Here’s a taste of what you’ll be doing:
* Leading internal IT strategy and operations across multiple UK & EU sites
* Driving modernisation—cloud adoption, system upgrades, digital transformation
* Managing service delivery, security, compliance (ISO 27001, GDPR, Cyber Essentials, DORA, etc.)
* Coaching and mentoring a collaborative, high-performing IT team
* Owning vendor relationships, budgets, and performance metrics
* Working closely with senior leadership to align IT with wider business goals
What we’re looking for:
* Strong IT leadership experience in a multi-site organisation (500+ employees)
* Deep knowledge of infrastructure (VMWare, Simplivity), Azure/O365, networking, and endpoint tech
* A confident communicator who can influence at executive level
* A people-first leadership style that builds trust and inspires innovation
* Curious mindset—comfortable with AI, automation, and exploring smarter ways of working
And the perks?
* Hybrid working (3 days WFH typically)
* 33 days holiday (incl. bank holidays) + buy/sell options
* Enhanced family leave and wellbeing benefits (virtual GP, mental health support, etc.)
* Paid volunteering days, social events, and employee recognition activities
* Professional development support + membership sponsorship
* Tech discounts, Cycle2Work, gym memberships, and more
This is a fantastic opportunity for a strategic IT leader ready to step into a role where they can make a real impact
