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.
