We are working exclusively and confidentially with a well-established, PE-backed specialist service business operating across multiple 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 1,000 people and a turnover in the region of £60 million plus. 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.
The Role
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
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.
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.
