Warrington, United Kingdom Your Housing Group Full time

So…. What is this role exactly?

This is an exciting opportunity, here at Your Housing Group to join us as Director of ICT and assume the strategic leadership and management of our well-established, ICT Division.

Our in-house ICT division has continued to grow and evolve over the last 18 months and encompasses service desk, architecture, infrastructure, software and interface development & maintenance, cyber security, and assurance teams .

As Director of ICT, you will have the autonomy to lead these teams and wider business stakeholders to deliver on the Groups ICT modernisation and improvement plan, ensuring our Group wide systems and infrastructure are fit for the future.

And who are Your Housing Group?

Your Housing Group is a registered social landlord helping people at every stage of life to live in quality homes they can afford.

As one of the North’s sector-leading landlords, we are proud to play our role in tackling the UK's housing crisis by continually reinvesting in our 29,000 properties and tailoring our services to meet the diverse needs of our customers. We also build over 1,000 new homes each year.

We’re an employer of choice, over 82% of colleagues here recommend us as a 'great place to work' .

What would I be responsible for doing?

First and foremost , you will take ownership of the development and delivery of the Group’s ICT & Security Strategies including their management and flexible execution, to ensure YHGs infrastructure, systems and services align to the company strategy and objectives.

Working in partnership with the Chief Financial Officer, you will help shape both current and future strategic priorities and business plans and cascade these through the teams to deliver on our key ICT objectives.

You will also lead on the planning and implementation of several improvement projects in flight including the new off the shelf system replacements to further enhance and improve business wide systems functionality, and continue to develop and upgrade YHGs current system base. As a number of these upgrades will be related to strengthening our asset management systems some experience of improving and implementing IT systems geared around housing or property will be required.

Importantly, you will also be the strategic and operational lead to each of the Heads of Division that will operate as your direct reports, providing leadership, guidance, and support as they deliver on these business objectives, and be that effective sounding board and mentor where needed.

What’s great about this role is…

As you will be our absolute SME for ICT, there is a real opportunity to shape the implementation of our new ICT Strategy, ultimately ensuring a seamless customer journey, and that our adoption of new technology continues helps in our aim of being best in class

As a member of our senior leadership team, you will also have the autonomy to transform service delivery, performance, and customer experience, and collaborate with both the Senior and Executive teams on wider business objectives.

And what would make me stand out from the crowd?

What’s key to this role is that experience in leading a sizeable ICT function to deliver on business wide ICT projects and plans.

I deally you will be an exceptional leader, resilient and keen to lead from the front. A strong relationship builder, you will be confident communicating at all levels, internally and externally to build trust and positive partnerships with both the wider business and core external partners.

This role is really suited to someone who believes in being a visible and approachable leader, intuitive to the temperature of the Division and the sector, and how this could impact the teams under your care.

That’s all sounds great.... What’s in it for me?

In return we offer a highly competitive salary, a 9/10% Car allowance, and 29 days annual leave, plus Bank Holidays.

We offer a fantastic flexible, home working culture where you are measured on your outputs. When you want those social interactions with your Direct reports and their teams, we have a state-of-the-art collaboration space based in Warrington, which you’ll also need to visit for team days, meetings and training when required.

We also provide a great benefits package, including a contributory pension where we match whatever you contribute (up to 8%), Private medical insurance (Aviva), an advanced level Healthcare cash plan that doesn’t just provide dental and optician cashback, but also health and wellbeing benefits (such as 24/7 GP Access and alternative therapy treatments) and an amazing discount scheme that gives half price cinema tickets, subsidised gym memberships and a huge range of discounts with some of the biggest high street and online names.
