We are seeking a Head of Business Systems & Security to lead the development, governance and protection of the systems that support business operations. This is a strategic and hands-on role, responsible for ensuring that technology platforms are reliable, secure, well integrated and aligned with organisational objectives. You will work closely with senior stakeholders and teams across the business to understand requirements, prioritise improvements and deliver practical solutions that enhance efficiency, data quality and user experience.
Your responsibilities will include overseeing core business applications, systems architecture, integrations, access management and technology-related processes. You will establish effective policies, controls and procedures covering information security, risk management, business continuity, data protection and compliance. The role will also involve identifying vulnerabilities, coordinating audits and testing, managing incident response, and ensuring appropriate remediation plans are implemented. You will lead relationships with technology partners and suppliers, manage budgets and roadmaps, and oversee projects from discovery through to implementation and continuous improvement.
