Group Head of Business Solutions | Genuit Group
Leeds | Competitive Executive Package
Genuit Group is a leading, listed manufacturer of sustainable water and climate management solutions, operating across multiple divisions and brands with a significant UK manufacturing footprint. As the Group accelerates its digital transformation agenda, Elevation Recruitment Group has been retained to appoint an exceptional leader to a newly prominent, Group-level role:
Group Head of Business Solutions
Reporting directly to the CIO, this is a pivotal leadership role at the heart of Genuit’s technology and transformation strategy. You will own the consolidation, adoption, and optimisation of the Group’s core digital platforms - retiring legacy solutions, driving full utilisation across all business units, and creating a unified, high-performance digital environment.
Beyond platform consolidation, you will be the champion of Genuit’s data and AI ambitions - harnessing data to unlock commercial value and leveraging AI-driven automation to deliver measurable business benefit. This is a role for a leader who is as comfortable in the boardroom as they are in the detail: a credible, energising presence who can influence at Group and Divisional level and inspire teams to embrace change.
