Job description

SF Technology are supporting a private equity–backed, multi-site, B2B services business on the appointment of a transformational Chief Information Officer, CIO.

The role offers a base salary of £150,000–£200,000 plus an annual bonus and substantial deal bonus.

The business is highly profitable, on a strong growth trajectory and has massively improved operational performance since receiving investment.

Technology is seen as a key enabler for the next phase — with significant investment approved for new systems, data strategy, and AI adoption. The CIO will play a central role in shaping this journey and galvanising the IT team to deliver business-wide change.

We’re looking for someone who has a proven track record demonstrating they can:

• Reenergise, develop or build and lead an elite IT function
• Embed a data-led culture across a complex, multi-site organisation
• Adopt and integrate new technologies, including AI
• Influence at board level while engaging frontline teams
• Has experience working in a fast paced, high-growth, investor backed business, preferably PE.
• Bring vision, strong communication, and a values-led approach to leadership

The successful candidate will be geographically mobile and enjoy being on site with the team and business or visiting operations nationally.

This is a rare opportunity to join a profitable PE-backed organisation at a pivotal point in its growth. Given the sensitivity of the search, further details can only be shared once an NDA is signed.
