Head of IT – Oxford (New site)
Hybrid | 2 days onsite | Perm | c.75–90k + package
We’re supporting a scaling business with serious growth plans—distributed teams, tech-heavy operations, and a track record of investing in digital transformation rather than just talking about it.
This isn’t about babysitting systems. It’s about leading a step change across infrastructure, security, cloud, and operational technology—with the backing of an exec team that sees IT as strategic.
The Role
You’ll own and deliver the IT roadmap—balancing short-term performance with long-term modernisation. This includes everything from network architecture to cyber resilience, cloud strategy to team development.
You’ll:
* Shape and deliver IT strategy across a complex setup of distributed teams and systems
* Oversee infrastructure, cyber, cloud, comms, and operational tooling
* Lead and grow a hands-on IT team
* Run budgets, manage vendors, and drive project delivery
* Act as the go-to for IT with internal stakeholders and external partners
What You’ll Bring
* Senior-level IT leadership in a complex or regulated business
* Strong infrastructure and cyber security credentials
* Experience across cloud platforms (Azure ideal), DR/BCP, and operational tooling
* The people side: team development, stakeholder influence, and cross-business collaboration
* Familiarity with frameworks like ITIL, PRINCE2, or CISSP
Bonus Points For:
* Experience with field tech or industrial systems
* A background in environments that demand high availability and operational continuity
Why It’s Worth Exploring
The tech estate is sizeable. The opportunity to shape it is even bigger. If you're ready to move beyond BAU and lead a business-critical function—this is worth a proper chat.
