The Organisation This is a well-established UK organisation with an ambitious vision for the future. Having experienced significant growth in recent years, they've expanded both organically and through strategic acquisitions, creating a broader group of specialist businesses that enables them to offer clients a far more integrated service than ever before. As the organisation continues to scale, there's a real focus on ensuring its internal technology, systems and processes evolve alongside the business. Rather than allowing growth to create complexity, they're investing in digital transformation, AI and automation to simplify the way people work, improve collaboration and build a more connected organisation. Innovation is genuinely encouraged here. The business is actively exploring how emerging technologies can remove manual effort, streamline operations and create better experiences for employees across the organisation.

You'll help define the roadmap, prioritise opportunities and ensure solutions are delivered in a way that supports both immediate business needs and the organisation's longer-term growth strategy. You'll lead cross-functional project teams, work closely with senior stakeholders across multiple business units and manage relationships with external technology partners where required.

With the business continuing to grow rapidly, this is an opportunity to influence how digital transformation evolves over the coming years while creating a platform for future progression. What They're Looking For Experience leading end-to-end digital transformation programmes across multiple business functions Experience defining digital roadmaps and translating business strategy into deliverable transformation initiatives Strong programme or project leadership experience, delivering complex digital change from discovery through to adoption Experience leading cross-functional teams and influencing senior stakeholders without direct authority Experience improving business processes through technology, automation and emerging technologies such as AI Commercial awareness with experience managing project budgets, vendors or third-party technology partners Experience implementing or integrating enterprise platforms and helping organisations move towards more connected digital ecosystems A genuine interest in innovation, continuous improvement and finding new ways to improve how organisations operate The Offer You'll receive a salary of 60,000 - 70,000 plus car allowance and the flexibility to work predominantly from home.
