A fast-growing, pan-European organisation in an asset-intensive/rail environment is hiring a
Senior IT Director to lead technology strategy and delivery through a period of transformation and integration. Reporting to the
CEO , you'll build a lean, high-impact IT function and ensure technology directly enables business performance (not "theoretical best practice").



The opportunity

• Own the end-to-end IT agenda: strategy, operations, security, vendors, and change


• Drive Microsoft-led transformation, with major focus on Dynamics 365 F&O / Supply Chain


• Play a key role in post-acquisition systems consolidation and standardisation across entities


• Lead pragmatic adoption of automation/AI to improve reporting, workflows and decision-making


• Maintain a resilient platform with 99.9% uptime and strong regulatory compliance

What you'll lead

• Multi-year tech roadmap aligned to business goals and operational efficiency


• D365 performance and continuous improvement, integrations, and reporting/Power BI insights


• Secure, reliable IT operations (identity, endpoints, cloud infrastructure, backups, SOC-aligned security)


• Pan-European MSP and vendor management, service performance and commercial outcomes


• A small, capable team across service delivery, architecture, and data/MI

What we're looking for

• Senior IT leadership experience in mid-to-large organisations (asset-intensive sectors preferred)


• Strong Dynamics 365 and Microsoft ecosystem background (Azure/M365/Power Platform/security)


• Proven delivery of complex change (ERP optimisation, integrations, transformation programmes)


• Confident stakeholder management and commercial/budget ownership


• Able to be onsite 3 days per week in London with regular European travel
