With a competitive salary depending on experience + a car allowance, when you join us, you’ll also enjoy 25 days’ holiday, a day off on your birthday, a day off to support a charity or organisation of your choice, a performance-related bonus scheme, and private healthcare.

How you’ll change it up

You’ll be joining our dynamic CTIO division, managing the relationship between IT and the wider business to align plans, inter-dependencies, and strategic direction, ensuring that our overall plan for IT is connected and optimised. You’ll act as the primary interface and escalation point into IT, quickly establishing yourself as a trusted partner and member of the strategic portfolio management team.

• Creating and leading a matrix team focused on supporting a specific IT portfolio that’s aligned to the business value chain activity
• Creating and facilitating multi-horizon roadmaps and associated plans that deliver technology capabilities in the short, medium, and long term
• Effectively collect, articulate, and address requirements, benefits, risks, issues and dependencies into your portfolio – identifying ways to unlock issues
• Facilitating the navigation of relevant IT governance processes, including compliance and statutory requirements

What you’ll bring to the role

You’ll already have some of the skills which make up a great IT Business Partner, like being a proactive self-manager with the ability to take on challenges and find solutions, but there are a few other core areas of experience you’ll bring with you too:

• Demonstrated expertise across diverse functions and capabilities, including strategy, architecture, delivery, and operations.
• Possesses strong business, commercial, and financial acumen
• Skilled in achieving objectives through influence within a matrixed environment

We’re looking for people who don’t settle for ‘good enough’ and push things forward. If you’ve just found yourself thinking, ‘I’d love to do this’, we want to hear from you. Let’s change it up.
