Reporting and Structure Reporting Line: Chief Financial Officer Direct Reports: IT Programme Manager, Project Manager, Business Analysis Manager, Data and Insights Manager Key Accountabilities Transformation Strategy and Roadmap • Own the organisation's technology transformation roadmap, aligned to business strategy and agreed with the Executive Team and Board. • Identify and prioritise change initiatives that drive operational improvement, service quality, and organisational resilience. • Translate business requirements into clear technology change briefs suitable for external delivery partners. • Maintain a forward view of the technology landscape, bringing relevant innovation and best practice to leadership attention.

About You You are a commercially minded technology transformation leader with a proven track record of governing complex, partner-delivered change programmes. You are as comfortable negotiating with a supplier as you are presenting to a Board, and you understand that in a third-party-led delivery model, clarity of requirements, strong governance, and commercial leverage are the levers that determine success.
