A rare and exciting opportunity has arisen for a pragmatic, collaborative IT leader to join the Devonshire Group. We are a unique organisation encompassing heritage, hospitality, property, and charitable enterprises. We operate well-known and loved venues such as Chatsworth House and Bolton Abbey. We are about to embark on a journey to modernise and transform our technology landscape and are seeking a Head of IT to lead the development and delivery of a progressive, Group-wide IT strategy and roadmap of IT change.
This is not a traditional IT role. It demands a leader who is curious, grounded, and energised by the challenge of applying the power of digital to a diverse and values-driven organisation. You will be joining us at a pivotal moment, with the opportunity to create a technology roadmap which will enhance the digital experience of our colleagues and guests, whilst helping build-in operational efficiency and resilience across our organisation.

• Develop and deliver a Group-wide IT strategy and systems roadmap that is aligned with our values and strategic ambitions. Lead the subsequent evolution of our systems architecture and technology landscape to deliver a seamless IT customer experience.
• Collaborate right across the Group building positive relationships with a wide and varied network of stakeholders, ranging from shop floor to the boardroom. Build a culture of digital maturity and tech-enabled engagement which supports both operational excellence and customer experience.
• Inspire and lead the IT team, fostering a culture of ongoing professional development, customer-centricity and a pragmatic, repeatable approach to the delivery of change.
