Is this the Fractional IT Director role for you?
Creideas are partnered with a leading UK charity as they look to add a Fractional IT Director to the team on an initial 6 month contract, with a view to extend to 12 months and beyond.
This is an exciting time for the organisation following large investments in their digital functions and a large transformation project that was recently completed. You will bridge operational IT management and strategic transformation, ensure they are getting value for money, act as an advisor for a programme they’re looking to implement, whilst also overseeing BAU within IT.
This is a fractional/part-time position, with an expectation to work remotely 2 days per week. Occasionally, you may be required to travel to their Central London office to attend board meetings, but this won’t be a common occurrence.
