Job Advert Summary

Syntech is looking for an Information Systems Lead to take ownership of our IS function and build it into a capability that keeps pace with the company. This is a hands-on player-coach role. Today you will personally hold the most business-critical systems across automation ERP integration BI and web. Over time you will design and build the team and partner network around them and grow into the Head of Information Systems role as you do.

You will report to executive management and work across every department sales finance operations and marketing. The function is currently held by a single outgoing specialist so you will start as the sole IS practitioner. A core part of the mandate is to change that: to engineer out the single-point-of-failure risk by building the right mix of hires and specialist partners around the estate.

This is a rare opportunity to define a function rather than inherit one with a clear earned path to Head of Information Systems as the team and capability are established.
