We are a leading global IT transformation business specialising in large-scale Government and Public Sector projects. This is a 6‑month hybrid contract based in Birmingham, with 3 days a week working remotely and 2 days a week in our Birmingham office, plus occasional travel to our Croydon office. The role is outside IR35 and is due to start as soon as possible in July 2026.
