Head of Solutions
Head of Solutions | Lincolnshire (Hybrid) £70,000 - £90,000
Are you a technology leader who thrives on transformation? Do you want a role where your work genuinely matters - not just to the bottom line, but to the lives of the people an organisation serves?
Elevation Recruitment Group are working exclusively and confidentially with a well-established, PE-backed specialist service business operating across 45+ services nationally to appoint a Head of Solutions. This is a rare and genuinely exciting opportunity for a commercially astute, values-led technology leader to take full ownership of a digital, data and technology agenda at a pivotal moment in an organisation's journey.
The Organisation:
This is a mid-sized, purpose-driven business with a workforce of circa 1,300 people and a turnover in the region of £70 million. Backed by private equity, the organisation has clear ambitions to grow - both in scale and in the sophistication of how it uses technology and data to deliver better outcomes. The foundations are in place. What's needed now is the right leader to accelerate the journey.
Why Apply?
- Senior leadership team position with real executive visibility from day one
- Genuine transformation mandate with board-level backing and investment already committed
- Significant autonomy to shape strategy, challenge existing arrangements and build something lasting
- Clear and articulated pathway to a CTO-level role as the business grows
- A role with real purpose
- Hybrid working with flexibility built in
Reporting directly to the Executive Director and sitting within the senior leadership team, this is a broad and genuinely autonomous role. You will take full ownership of the organisation's technology, data and digital agenda, with two direct reports and the scope to shape the function in the right way for the long term.
Key areas of focus will include:
- Owning and driving a digital transformation strategy aligned to operational and growth objectives
- Leading the maturity of the data infrastructure and ensuring the organisation can extract genuine insight from its data
- Championing the use of AI and automation to drive efficiency and improve service delivery
- Leading cloud migration away from legacy on-premise infrastructure
- Managing and developing a small but capable internal technology team
- Acting as the internal technology champion at executive and senior leadership level
The Person:
You will be an experienced technology leader with a track record that spans both IT operations and data/digital transformation. You will be comfortable owning the full agenda rather than a single specialism, and you will have the commercial sharpness to operate effectively in a PE-backed environment where technology investment must demonstrably align with business value.
Just as important as your technical credentials is your ability to lead, influence and bring people with you. This organisation is values-led, and the successful candidate will genuinely connect with the mission and understand that in this environment, data quality and digital capability have a direct impact on the safety and quality of care.
Experience in social care, health or another regulated sector would be a bonus, but is not essential. Multi-site, complex environment experience is far more important.
