Group Director of Technology & TransformationWest London/Remote£90-95Kpa + £6.7kpa Car Allowance + 22.8% Contributory Pension + Other BensOur client is a not-for-profit organisation that provides a digital framework for the procurement of services (construction and refurbishment of housing and other buildings across the public sector). Like G Cloud, Suppliers are pre-tendered, and organisations can advertise their project requirements on there. They are 70+ strong and once part of a London Borough Local Authority, operating independently, but now a separate entity since 2023. Their Unique Selling Point is that with surplus profits, they make Charitable donations. Last November a new CFO joined to be part of their senior leadership team to make the business operations more efficient so that the customer journey is optimised, the business is scaled, and they can maximise the revenue they generate to plough into charitable causes. A renewed commercial mindset is being delivered but with social purpose driving the outcome. As part of the Transformation, we are now looking for a Director of IT and Transformation (DoITT) to improve the Technology landscape, scale the operational side of the business and to make more digital and automated in future. The DoITT will manage 2 small teams; Technology and Transformation viewed as BAU and Projects respectively. Within Technology they mostly support the existing systems and Transformation is about new applications and processes to help them now and also the future state projects. They are in the process of moving away from disparate systems and patchwork technology to a fully Microsoft ecosystem with D365 being at the heart of it with PowerApps, Azure and so on. Other core systems for Procurement, HR and Finance all need reviewing in due course to optimise or replace or put into D365. Automation and AI need to be used to speed up tasks and move away from manual processes
