Group IT Director – ERP & Technology Transformation
Thames Valley HQ, national travel | Six-figure base + package
A UK group of just under 1,000 people, built through organic growth and 25+ acquisitions, is appointing its next Group IT Director. Reporting to the CFO with regular Board exposure, this is the role that turns a federated collection of successful, independently run businesses into a group that shares data, systems and buying power — without smothering what makes each one work.
The Role
The immediate priority is a group-wide Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central implementation. The programme is planned and underway; it now needs an owner. You'll drive it through a mix of in-house and external contractor resource, hold governance and pace, and keep the Executive confident in progress, risk and benefits realised.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Alongside it sits the wider group agenda:
- Shaping an IT operating model appropriate to the Group's maturity
- Managing an outsourced service provider commercially
- Strengthening cyber resilience
- Building data and analytics capability
- Identifying where technology genuinely removes cost and friction
None of this lands by mandate.
Business enablement is what works here, not centralised IT — which means influencing MDs on their terms and sequencing change around commercial reality rather than programme plans. Visibility matters: these are businesses where people are won over in person, not over Teams, so expect to spend real time out across the sites.
