You are an experienced IT infrastructure delivery professional with a strong track record of leading complex projects and driving technology transformation within a global organisation. You combine strategic thinking with strong leadership and project delivery capabilities, enabling you to manage competing priorities, coordinate resources and deliver successful outcomes. Comfortable engaging with senior stakeholders and technical teams, you are skilled at translating business requirements into deliverable project plans and thrive in a collaborative, fast-paced environment where you can drive change and continuous improvement.

Required skills and experience:

  • Broad technical understanding of networks, data centres, cloud platforms, identity and access management, end-user computing and security infrastructure.
  • Experience delivering cloud initiatives, particularly within Microsoft Azure environments.
  • Strong leadership capabilities, with the ability to coordinate and develop teams, engineers, architects and external suppliers.
  • Experience developing strategic roadmaps, prioritising projects and managing resources, budgets, risks and delivery timelines.
  • Excellent stakeholder management, communication and influencing skills, with the ability to engage technical and non-technical audiences.
  • Strong organisational, analytical and problem-solving skills, with a commercially aware and adaptable approach to project delivery.

Desirable:

  • Project or programme management qualification.
  • Experience of transitioning infrastructure from on-premises environments to public cloud.

ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY

This is an exciting opportunity to join Intertek's Group IT team and lead the delivery of strategic infrastructure projects across our global operations. Working closely with senior business leaders, IT teams and external partners, you will be responsible for shaping the infrastructure project roadmap, overseeing delivery and ensuring initiatives align with business priorities. The role offers the opportunity to drive cloud migration and infrastructure modernisation, influence global technology transformation and lead a small team dedicated to delivering successful project outcomes.

Key activities:

  • Own and develop the global IT infrastructure roadmap, aligning project priorities, funding and resources with business objectives.
  • Manage the infrastructure project portfolio, overseeing demand, prioritisation, planning, delivery and operational handover.
  • Lead infrastructure projects across networks, data centres, cloud platforms, identity, end-user computing, collaboration and security technologies.
  • Drive cloud migration and infrastructure modernisation initiatives, ensuring successful delivery against agreed milestones.
  • Partner with the IT PMO, engineering teams, regional IT teams and suppliers to coordinate resources and project dependencies.
  • Oversee project budgets, risks, issues and delivery performance, ensuring projects are completed effectively and efficiently.
  • Ensure infrastructure solutions meet required architecture, performance, security, scalability and compliance standards.
  • Provide regular project updates and reporting to senior stakeholders, highlighting progress, risks and key decisions.
  • Lead and develop two delivery co-ordinators, supporting team performance, collaboration and continuous improvement.
  • Ensure effective transition of completed projects into operational support, capturing lessons learned and identifying opportunities to enhance future delivery.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
