You will provide clear direction across IT infrastructure, applications, data, service management and information security, working closely with senior stakeholders to align priorities with organisational objectives.
Your responsibilities will include developing and delivering a pragmatic technology and security roadmap; overseeing IT operations, support services, infrastructure and third-party suppliers; and ensuring systems are reliable, scalable and fit for purpose.
