Overview
Be among the first 25 applicants. We are looking for a new Head of Technology and Innovation (IT) to lead the Technology and Innovation (T&I) team at Tai Tarian and to be an expert advisor to the Executive and Board on IT matters. Tai Tarian is the social landlord for over 9,000 properties across Neath Port Talbot. This is a permanent role with a salary of £78,453 per annum. The organisation is focused on delivering excellence, sustainable homes, sustainable communities and driving change for a sustainable planet.
This role offers the opportunity to create a meaningful legacy as we embark on a full systems replacement programme and to influence how T&I supports business transformation ambitions.
Responsibilities
* Create strong relationships with internal stakeholders and engage with their priorities to seek the best technical solutions to meet their needs.
* Develop the skills and expertise of the team to manage all aspects of a modern IT service and the end-to-end implementation cycle.
* Create a new offer for the business in terms of how T&I will support business transformation (including a full systems replacement programme).
* Develop an outcome-based mindset in the proposal and selection of technical solutions.
* Build strong relationships with external contractors and IT partners to ensure understood needs, maintained service levels, and effective collaboration.
* Promote a learning culture to improve data and digital literacy across the business and capitalise on new and leading-edge technology.
* Manage a safe and secure BAU environment and a live disaster recovery plan.
* Shape and deliver the T&I value-for-money offer to the business.
You will have strong people skills and some IT expertise; you do not need to know everything in this diverse field, but you should be able to identify when specialist help is needed to manage IT risks.
Reporting to the Executive Director of Finance, you will communicate with non-IT specialists and, as trust grows, apply your expertise to maximise impact. As we begin the full systems replacement programme, this role offers the opportunity to make a meaningful difference for tenants and colleagues.
Please find attached the Head of Technology & Innovation role profile for the full job description and person specification.
