The Successful Applicant

Candidates must have held multiple CIO roles within very large global organisations, and must have carved out large independent businesses to stand alone from a parent company (from an IT perspective). We are looking for an expert CIO with this skill set so this is non-negotiable for this role.

What's on Offer

A generous daily rate or salary and package to compensate for level of experience.

There is the opportunity to work a hybrid pattern, but candidates will need to be based in the UK, and be in London 2 days a week.
