This is a truly unique role available in Leeds to build a new team from the ground up, while developing the future technology roadmap / strategy of an already established organisation (£160m t/o, 450 people).

This role is described as working for a start up with the backing and infrastructure of an already global leading organisation.
As a talented technology leader you will operate with a start-up mindset, looking to drive innovation and gain competitive advantage through developing technology solutions.

The remit of this role is broad, but one key element stands out - we're looking for a Leader not a Manager.
We are looking for a future superstar who can progress to CTO in 9-12 months and will achieve this through making a high impact in the business across a number of key areas.

Immediate projects will include:

  • Building a team of 10-12 in Leeds' newest, most impressive office space
  • Establish a completely new, greenfield app strategy across all global operations
  • Lead a major digitisation programme including technology such as analytics and robot process automation (RPA)
  • Evaluate and redevelop / replace and existing global ERP solution (bespoke or COTS)
  • Move to cloud hosted solutions from an existing on-premise data centre strategy

This role is NOT about the technical detail, it's about the ability to create a cohesive technology strategy whilst leading both the local team in Leeds and gaining the respect of your peers across the organisation globally.

It is likely you're currently operating as a Head of Technology or similar, or CTO in a smaller organisation looking for a bigger challenge / broader remit. You must be experienced working in organisations who make decisions at pace, and aren't looking for the safety blanket of lots of corporate governance and people around you to validate your ideas/thinking.

This role offers outstanding opportunities to make a significant impact along with rapid career growth. 2 of the 5 existing board members joined the business in similar roles and progressed to CxO roles rapidly - this organisation have a proven track record of promoting quickly.
 

So, what will your experience be?

  • You will have a proven background leading technology teams
  • You will have proven experience developing technology roadmaps / strategy
  • Your experience must include devising modern application strategy
  • Any experience of Azure cloud solutions, Analytics (e.g. Qlikview) or RPA beneficial
  • Any experience developing technology strategy to seek future investment highly beneficial
  • You will be a leader who achieves mutual respect through your ability to set a clear vision and strategy

The package is very attractive - £90-130k, plus shares, bonus, car allowance, pension etc.
Shortlisting underway, with interviews scheduled to take place early April.
