This is a high-visibility, delivery-focused role within the Group IT Planning & Delivery function.
You’ll be responsible for managing end-to-end delivery of large-scale projects across EMEA, covering areas such as network transformation, cloud-first initiatives, infrastructure rationalisation, and digital workplace modernisation.
Reporting to a collaborative leader who values autonomy and trust, you’ll work with global teams and senior stakeholders to bring structure, clarity, and measurable results in a business undergoing significant change.

* Comfortable operating in an evolving environment with developing processes and frameworks.
* Proactive, self-sufficient, and delivery-focused with strong communication and leadership skills.
Location and Flexibility

* Competitive bonus and comprehensive benefits package.
* Generous personal development budget (over £1,000 per year per employee).
* Excellent career growth opportunities within a well-established, financially secure global organisation.
Interview Process
* Two-stage process:
* Stage 1: Experience, competency, and behavioural interview.
* Stage 2: Task-based assessment (scenario exercise or steerco presentation).
This is a rare opportunity to join a forward-thinking organisation with strong board commitment to IT transformation. If you’re looking for a role where you can lead large-scale technical projects, influence positive change, and be part of an evolving global team, I’d love to hear from you.
