Are you an experienced IT leader looking for a role with real impact?

The West Midlands Pension Fund is seeking a dynamic and forward-thinking Head of Systems (IT Services) to lead the strategic direction, delivery and continuous improvement of our IT and digital services.

About the role

Reporting to the Director of Finance, Resources and Transformation, you will lead a highly skilled IT function, ensuring the Fund's systems, infrastructure and digital solutions are secure, efficient, and future-ready. You will be responsible for delivering high-performing, customer-focused IT services to colleagues, employers and members, while shaping our digital roadmap for the years ahead.

This is a wide-reaching leadership role, with accountability for:

  • Driving the Fund's IT and digital strategy, ensuring alignment with corporate priorities.
  • Leading on cybersecurity, IT business continuity, disaster recovery and cyber assurance.
  • Overseeing IT infrastructure, business systems and applications – including the Fund's Pension Administration System.
  • Defining and delivering the strategy for automation, AI and emerging technologies.
  • Managing supplier relationships, contracts and strategic IT partnerships.
  • Leading, developing and motivating a high-performing systems team to deliver excellent customer service.

About you

  • Strong experience in IT leadership, ideally within a complex organisation.
  • A proven ability to develop and implement IT strategies aligned to organisational objectives.
  • Excellent knowledge of cybersecurity, information governance and ITIL service delivery.
  • The ability to inspire, develop and manage high-performing teams.
  • Strong stakeholder management skills with the credibility to influence at senior levels.

Experience in pensions or the wider public sector is desirable but not essential.

Why choose the West Midlands Pension Fund?

At the West Midlands Pension Fund, you'll play a pivotal role in safeguarding and shaping the IT services that underpin the delivery of pensions to over 340,000 members and 800 employers. You'll join a collaborative and forward-thinking organisation that values innovation, continuous improvement and professional development.

We offer:

  • Flexible and hybrid working arrangements.
  • A competitive salary and excellent Local Government Pension Scheme benefits.
  • Opportunities for professional growth and continuous development.
  • The chance to make a real difference to one of the UK's largest pension funds.

How we support our colleagues

In addition to our comprehensive benefits package, we encourage a diverse workforce. Plus, our agile, inclusive environment allows you to manage your wellbeing and work/life balance. You also have 24-hour access to an employee assistance programme.

As a new employee of our SLT team, you will receive a robust interactive 8-week induction plan providing you the opportunity to engage with key stakeholders across the fund. You will also be enrolled onto a range of professional training courses including an introduction to the LGPS and team building to encourage collaborative working, allowing you to thrive in your new role.
