Your New Role

We're looking for a Director of Business Systems & Transformation
to lead a significant technology-enabled transformation programme
for an established and growing software business in Reading.
Reporting directly to the CEO, this is a senior, delivery-focused
role with around 80% of your time centred on transformation,
technology strategy and major systems projects rather than
traditional IT operations. You'll lead a broad portfolio of
change across CRM, ERP, business systems, integrations,
automation, data and technology-enabled process improvement,
taking projects from initial strategy and requirements through to
implementation, adoption and successful transition into BAU.
You'll work closely with senior stakeholders across the business,
technical teams and external technology partners, providing the
leadership and technical understanding needed to turn business
priorities into meaningful, measurable outcomes.

Ensuring Your Success

To succeed, you'll be an experienced technology transformation or
programme leader with a proven track record of delivering complex
systems and business change initiatives from conception through
to implementation. You'll combine strong project and programme
delivery discipline with a genuine understanding of technology,
including enterprise systems, CRM, ERP, integrations, APIs,
automation and data flows. You'll be comfortable operating
strategically with the CEO and senior leadership team while
remaining close enough to delivery to challenge requirements,
identify risks, manage suppliers and solve problems. Crucially,
we're looking for someone who has moved beyond traditional IT
operations and can demonstrate genuine experience of leading
transformation, coordinating multiple stakeholders and delivering
technology projects that improve how a business operates.

In Return

You'll join a business where technology transformation is
genuinely important to its future, giving you the opportunity to
have direct influence at senior leadership level and make a
visible impact across the organisation. With direct access to the
CEO and ownership of a significant transformation portfolio, this
is an opportunity to shape strategy while also seeing your ideas
through to delivery. The role offers a hybrid working model, with
3 days per week in Reading and 2 days working from home.
