Enterprise IT is responsible for the IT estate our team members use every day and the core business systems that run the company, starting with ERP and expanding to the wider corporate application stack as we scale. This is a build-and-run role. You’ll lead an established IT Operations team (a lead and a team of four) covering service management, endpoints, networking, identity and SSO. You’ll also be the accountable technical owner of our ERP platform, from implementation into steady state. As more corporate tooling moves into your remit, you’ll recruit and structure an Enterprise Applications team and move us away from every function buying and running its own critical systems. Business functions keep ownership of their processes, data and decisions. You’ll have real ownership in shaping how systems are configured, governed and supported, and in building the team and operating model that carries us through the next stage of growth. What you’ll do: • Lead the IT Operations team and its lead: set priorities and service levels, with a clear split between run and build work • Own service desk performance, request and incident handling, and team member satisfaction • Own endpoint and device management, including OS and software update policy, balancing compliance against minimal disruption to people’s work • Own identity, SSO, access provisioning and offboarding as a single, auditable control point, and automate joiner, mover and leaver processes and other repeatable IT work • Act as the accountable owner of the ERP platform, including system configuration, workflow design and ongoing maintenance. If vendor selection is still open when you join, lead its final stages with stakeholders to confirm scope, modules and implementation approach • Own the design of core ERP configuration areas such as financial consolidation, budgeting and forecasting, master data, and integration with adjacent systems • Manage the ERP implementation partner or systems integrator, holding them to scope, quality, timeline and budget • Establish change control, testing and release processes for ERP from day one, and own the post-go-live support m
