Head of Technology - Transformation & Integration

Head of Technology - Transformation & Integration Permanent - Based in Midlands Hybrid Model – 4 days in Office and 1 day remote. Azure / REACT / TypeScript / REST APIs / SQL / systems integration / ERP / TECH LEADERSHIP A fast-growing, acquisitive manufacturing group is modernising the in-house platform that runs its businesses and rolling it out across the group, and is hiring a technology leader to DRIVE the integration and own it end to end. You will set the direction, lead and drive the integration. The group has already brought a number of its companies onto standardised group systems, supported SAP deployment across them, and rolled its in-house systems out on Power Platform, Azure SQL and Access, and now wants to continue that integration across the remaining businesses. You will go into each business, understand how it works, and shape how the group's systems integrate to fit, then lead the programme and the team that delivers it. This is an ownership role blending business process, integration and leadership, not a pure governance seat. What the role needs: - A software engineering background with good hands-on credibility across the stack (JavaScript or TypeScript, React or Node, REST APIs, SQL). - A track record of modernising legacy systems and integrating them with finance, ERP and reporting platforms. - Experience leading integrations and acting as the technical authority. - Experience of integrating systems from other companies into a shared platform. Also useful: - Azure (App Services, Azure SQL) and GitHub-based workflows. - Integration with finance or ERP systems (e.g. SAP Business One) or AP automation. - AI-assisted development workflows. - A manufacturing, engineering or industrial background.
