The Company

My client is an established financial services business that is currently experiencing an exciting period of growth and transformation.

They are headquartered in Birmingham City Centre, West Midlands. The expectation is that you are on-site most days initially, although there is flexibility as and when required.

This role will be a 12-month fixed term contract initially.

The Role

As the Deputy Head of IT Operations, you join a small but rapidly growing internal IT function and will support the Head of IT Operations with the leadership, planning and day to day management of critical technology infrastructure. This includes: IT support, applications, servers, networks, telephony and firewalls.

The role shares responsibility with the Head of IT Operations for the management, execution, control and oversight of the infrastructure agenda, including ensuring that the technology is aligned with corporate agenda for operational resilience, growth ambitions and safe and sound processing.

The role will support and lead IT colleagues and personally implement infrastructure change. You will also deputise for the Head of IT Operations and act as a point of contact for internal and external stakeholders.

The Person

This role will suit a proven IT Leader who has previously operated as Head of IT Operations, Head of Infrastructure, IT Operations Manager or Infrastructure Manager.

The role will require level of technical IT ability but is much more focussed on the leadership and strategy piece and is a genuine opportunity to make an instant impact during a transition period.
