Description:
R13 are proud to be recruiting for a key leadership opportunity, seeking an experienced IT professional to take ownership of a critical delivery function for a highly recognised organisation. Combining technical leadership, people management and client delivery, the successful candidate will be responsible for leading and developing technical teams, strengthening project delivery and helping to create greater consistency and performance across the overall function.

The successful candidate will bring a technical background alongside the leadership skills to develop the teams, inform the future development of the department, contribute and support wider business strategy, improve project delivery and act as a senior point of escalation for both customers and colleagues.
