Head of Information Technology

Head of IT – Business Systems & Digital Transformation

Location: Glasgow – Hybrid, 2–3 days per week onsite

Tenth Revolution Group is supporting a well-established agricultural commodities and supply-chain business with the appointment of a new Head of IT
.

Operating across farming, international trade and logistics, the business relies heavily on technology to support complex commercial operations and the movement of goods throughout the UK and Europe.

This is an excellent opportunity for an ambitious technology professional ready to take a genuine step into senior IT leadership. You may currently be working as an IT Manager, IT Lead, Applications Manager, Business Systems Manager or Senior IT Project Manager and looking for greater strategic responsibility and influence.

The role requires someone who can understand how the business operates, identify opportunities for improvement and use technology, data and automation to deliver meaningful change. It is not simply about maintaining systems or managing day-to-day IT operations.

• Taking ownership of the organisation’s IT strategy, roadmap and technology priorities.
• Working with senior leaders to understand business challenges and identify opportunities for improvement.
• Leading the development and optimisation of ERP and wider business systems.
• Driving digital transformation initiatives across operational and commercial functions.
• Improving how the organisation uses data, reporting, automation and AI.
• Assessing existing processes and identifying where technology can improve efficiency and decision-making.
• Overseeing major technology projects from initial business case through to delivery.
• Managing relationships with technology partners, suppliers and internal stakeholders.
• Ensuring technology investment is commercially focused and aligned with business objectives.
• Providing clear advice and direction to the senior leadership team.
• Developing the organisation’s longer-term technology capability and approach.

You’ll ideally bring:

• Experience in an IT leadership, business systems, applications or senior technology-project role.
• A strong background in ERP or enterprise business systems.
• Exposure to Microsoft Dynamics 365 or Dynamics AX would be beneficial, although it is not essential.
• Experience delivering technology-enabled business change or digital transformation.
• A good understanding of data, reporting, automation and emerging AI capabilities.
• The ability to understand business processes and translate operational challenges into technology solutions.
• Strong commercial awareness and confidence discussing investment, priorities and value with senior stakeholders.
• Experience managing technology partners and third-party suppliers.
• The ambition and leadership capability to take greater ownership of an organisation’s technology direction.
• The ability to work from the Glasgow office approximately two to three days per week.

This is an opportunity to take on a visible and influential leadership position within an established international business.

You’ll have the freedom to shape technology strategy, improve critical business systems and lead meaningful transformation across the organisation. It offers a strong progression opportunity for someone ready to move into a Head of IT position, supported by an attractive salary and bonus package.

If you are a commercially minded technology professional with strong ERP or business-systems experience and the ambition to lead an organisation’s IT direction, we would be keen to hear from you.
