Strengthening confidence and capability in the effective use of technology and data — identifying learning needs, training colleagues, and supporting the adoption of new systems to drive sustainable change
Advising the Senior Leadership Team on technology-related opportunities, risks and prioritisation
Identifying where improvements in systems integration and data flow optimisation are needed, proposing and agreeing solutions, and leading on implementation
Conducting a formal review of our CRMs, identifying alternatives and agreeing solutions with key stakeholders, leading on procurement, implementation and migration
What You'll Bring
Proven technical expertise and experience at a senior level, or a strong step-up candidate ready for a leadership role
Strong background in IT infrastructure and business-driven data management
Proven track record of leading a major systems migration or platform consolidation end-to-end

Practical DevOps and cloud experience, including servers, networking, security, Linux/Unix, and Azure
Experience with data visualisation, warehousing and database technologies (e.g. Tableau, Power BI, Looker, BigQuery, Microsoft Fabric, PostgreSQL, MySQL)
Knowledge of data privacy, data security, and compliance regulations (GDPR)
Excellent verbal and written communication skills, including the ability to translate complex technical terminology for non-technical stakeholders
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
A commitment to and empathy with the organisation's values and mission
Benefits
23 days holiday plus bank holidays and additional religious holidays; rising to 25 days after 2 years' service
Pension scheme — 5% employer contribution
Life insurance — up to 3x salary for nominated beneficiaries
Health cash plan covering dental, optical, specialist consultations and complementary therapies
