From preparing Board-level materials and executive updates to coordinating strategic initiatives and leadership activities, you'll create the structure that enables the CTO and wider Technology leadership team to operate at their best.

This is a high-profile opportunity for someone with strong commercial acumen, exceptional organisational skills and the confidence to operate alongside senior stakeholders. If you enjoy bringing order to complexity, influencing at leadership level and making a visible impact across a technology-led business, we'd love to hear from you.
