This is a genuine digital transformation leadership role, not a caretaker IT job. You’re a senior technology leader who can set direction and deliver. Someone who sees digital as a commercial growth engine, not a support function. We’re working with a rapidly scaling, multi-site consumer-facing organisation that’s investing heavily in technology, data and digital platforms to reshape customer experience, unlock growth, and simplify operations at scale. You’ll own the end-to-end digital and technology strategy, spanning:
Customer-facing digital platforms
Core business systems and integrations
Data, insight and analytics
Cyber security, risk and compliance
Infrastructure, service delivery and suppliers
Fundamentally your remit is to create and develop a modern, secure, scalable digital ecosystem that drives revenue, retention and operational efficiency across a national estate. What you’ll actually be doing:
Defining and delivering a clear, commercially aligned digital and technology strategy
Leading large-scale digital transformation programmes that materially improve customer experience
Using data and digital products to increase sales, improve retention and reduce manual effort
Leading and developing a senior, multi-disciplinary technology team (circa 50 people across digital, data, applications, infrastructure and security)
Owning supplier strategy and commercial outcomes, not just contracts
Partnering with operational and executive stakeholders to translate business problems into scalable technology solutions
Managing OPEX and CAPEX with board-level accountability
You’ll need:
Proven leadership of IT and Digital functions in a complex, multi-site environment
A track record of delivering digital change, not just designing PowerPoint strategies
Strong experience across digital platforms, applications, data, infrastructure and cyber security
Confidence operating at board level, translating tech into commercial outcomes
Deep understanding of supplier management, contracts and value delivery
Experience operating within regulated or accredited environments (e.g. ISO27001, PCI, Cyber Essentials)
Experience of working in retail, leisure or hospitality is very advantageous
Why this one’s different
This role sits at the centre of growth strategy, not the edge of the org chart
Genuine exec-level influence with the remit to modernise, simplify and scale
A rare chance to reshape and enhance digital foundations across a national footprint
