Job description

IT Innovation Manager - Hybrid (1 day per week in office) - circa £60k

Looking for your next challenge? Fancy a role where you can take an idea, turn it into a product, and see it make a real difference across a busy, fast‑growing organisation? This is that role.

You’ll be joining a rapidly scaling team – from 8 people to over 120 in just a few years – and you’ll be right at the heart of it, leading one of the innovation labs. You won’t just manage a team of developers, designers, and project support; you’ll run the full lifecycle of enterprise‑scale products, helping shape, deliver, and own them from concept to reality.

Your day‑to‑day will be a mix of:

• Leading and coaching a squad through Agile/Scrum ceremonies (about 20% of the time).
• Filling and maintaining the innovation pipeline (another 20%).
• Delivery, stakeholder management, relationship building, and generally making sure things get done (the rest).

You’ll need to be comfortable talking to anyone – from day‑to‑day team members to senior partners and directors – and you’ll need the confidence to push ideas forward even when you hit blockers or hear “no.” This role is all about energy, charisma, and the ability to influence across all levels without being overbearing.

Qualifications

• You’re up‑and‑coming, ambitious, and ready to make a real impact.
• Matrix management experience and the ability to lead, coach, and mentor.
• A history of working with stakeholders across different levels.
• A professional approach with personality – someone energetic, enthusiastic, and charismatic.
• Experience in a corporate or consultancy environment is a bonus (Big 4 experience scores points).

What you’ll deliver

• Enterprise‑scale products that actually get used and make an impact – a really successful year is delivering 2‑3 of these.
• Strategic alignment across the business, building strong networks and relationships in each stream.
• Initiatives that go beyond your day‑to‑day role – someone who sees the bigger picture and gets involved with wider business transformation.

Logistics are simple: this is a hybrid role, so expect to be in the office one day a week (with occasional visits to other offices if needed). You’ll be working with a globally diverse team and will essentially run your own little franchise – autonomy and initiative are part of the deal.

This role is paying up to the early £60s. You get 25 days holiday, plus benefits.

Why this is the place for you

If you’re a doer, a thinker, and someone with personality, energy, and enthusiasm who can balance delivery with stakeholder engagement, this is the place for you. You’ll have the space to make a real impact, take ownership, and grow as the team grows.
