Corporate Systems Strategy Lead (Contract) - HR / Finance Applications
Location: South England (hybrid - mostly remote with occasional onsite visits)
Contract: 6 months initial (likely extension)
Start: ASAP
Rate: Outside IR35 up to £550p/d
Panoramic Associates are supporting a large public sector organisation looking for an experienced contractor to lead a fast-paced strategic review of its corporate systems estate. This is a high-visibility assignment sponsored at senior level, focused on quickly establishing clarity on what is working, what is not, and what a credible remediation strategy should be across a complex, interconnected set of internal systems (including HR and Finance applications and integrations).
This role suits someone who can operate as a hybrid of technical product strategy and architecture-level thinking: able to understand business process and operating needs, but also comfortable assessing application landscapes, integration patterns and technology choices at a practical level.

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.
Key deliverables
- Rapidly assess a multi-system corporate applications landscape (HR, Finance and connected systems).
- Review existing strategies / papers / delivery plans and diagnose why previous approaches have not landed.
- Facilitate stakeholder sessions across technology and the business to clarify pain points, constraints and priorities.
- Produce an initial "first few weeks" high-level assessment and recommended direction that senior leaders can act on.
- Develop pragmatic options and a sequenced roadmap (fix vs improve vs replace, integration approach, priorities).
- Remain accountable for the recommendations and support the next phase of delivery (not a one-off audit only).
