Deputy Director Technology and Change
Full time, 35 hours per week
About the role:
This role requires someone very special; someone who has an eye on the future and can translate that into a reality for the organisation as well as someone who can roll their sleeves up and manage the present with the technology and change team.
As our Client transforms their IT service to becoming a true technology and change team, they are seeking someone to lead and motivate a multi-faceted department. A team that is responsible for the day to day IT services and governance as well as partnering with the organisation to deliver solutions that will achieve their longer term technology vision for both divisions which in turn puts them in a great place to achieve their strategic outcomes.
They are already well on their way on this journey, so the role will require an individual who can embrace the work undertaken so far, as well as bring their own ideas and help them achieve even greater solutions. This role will be pivotal in enabling them to achieve this ‘once in a generation’ technology transformation programme.
They are seeking someone who combines visionary thinking with a down to earth and pragmatic approach and has a strong can-do attitude. It’s about finding digital solutions that combine business needs with future possibilities all within a safe, secure and efficient technology organisational environment. With exceptional people management skills you will be able to prioritise and manage competing demands.
They need someone who has the credibility to influence a diverse range of stakeholders, who can build and more importantly maintain effective working relationships across a range of senior leaders and teams with varying demands and skill sets. You will be solutions focussed, whilst all the time maintaining an eye on the bigger picture.
This is an exciting time to be joining the organisation and you can expect plenty of support and challenge as they deliver this transformational change. If you thrive in an environment where you can make a difference and enjoy the challenge of the journey then they would love to hear from you.
Our Client is an independent social change organisation working to solve UK poverty. They are a registered housing association and care provider in Yorkshire and the North East. Both divisions are two important influencing organisations with an ambitious agenda for inspiring positive change in the UK in line with our vision of a prosperous and poverty free UK.
