Head of Infrastructure & Cyber Security

Head of Infrastructure & Cyber Security Leeds - Hybrid with 3 days per week on site £six figure package + great benefits Elevation Tech & Transformation are partnering with a well-established UK-headquartered technology-led group on the appointment of a Head of Infrastructure & Cyber Security. This is a great opportunity to lead a sizeable Infrastructure, Service Delivery and Cyber function at a pivotal point in the organisation’s evolution. The business operates reliable, high-availability digital services across a portfolio of brands, with technology playing an increasingly central role in future growth. The role will inherit a loyal, experienced team and a stable operational environment, but the mandate is firmly forward-looking. Key priorities will include modernising infrastructure, reducing data centre footprint, strengthening cyber readiness, improving cloud cost governance, supporting future acquisitions, and embedding automation and AI to create a more intelligent, efficient and proactive infrastructure operation. We're looking for a senior technology leader with strong infrastructure and operational credibility, combined with the ability to lead people through change. You may currently be operating as a Head or Director of Infrastructure, Technology Operations, IT Services or a similar technology leadership role within a complex, platform based environment. The successful candidate will bring experience across infrastructure, cloud, cyber, service delivery and operational resilience. Just as importantly, they will be collaborative, commercially aware, pragmatic and able to build trust with experienced technical teams while introducing new ways of working. This role has been designed with long-term succession in mind. Whilst initially appointed at Head of level, the successful individual will join the Technology leadership team and, for the right person, there is a genuine opportunity to broaden the remit and progress into a Director-level position as both the function and the wider organisation continue to grow. This is a rare opportunity for someone who enjoys building, improving and influencing rather than simply maintaining. It will suit an ambitious technology leader who wants autonomy, enjoys solving complex challenges and is excited by the opportunity to play a key role in shaping the future direction of a growing organisation. Due to the confidential nature of the search, further details will be shared following an initial conversation and NDA. Interested? Contact Helenna Bell.
