This hybrid role offers a great balance of home and office working. You’ll join your colleagues in your local office at least 2 days a week. Occasional travel to other offices may be needed.

As the UK’s largest fibre-only network, and its only proven wholesale challenger, we’re busy setting new standards for what digital infrastructure can and should be.

Designed from scratch for the internet, our network is greener, more reliable and ready for the future. The products we provide over it not only lead the market on speed, value and service, they help businesses to innovate, provide entire communities with a better foundation for their digital lives and support economic growth, locally and nationally.

What does that mean for you? The opportunity to make internet connections (and daily life) a whole lot better, for a lot of people!

Joining us as an IT Business Partner

You’ll work with the wider IT team to gain alignment of plans, inter-dependencies and strategic direction to ensure that the overall plan for IT is interlocked and optimised – that we are ‘doing the right activities’ and that we are ‘doing activities right’.

You’ll receive a competitive salary, a car allowance, a performance related bonus, and a range of benefits to support you across your financial, physical and mental wellbeing.

This is some of what you can expect to be doing:

• Serve as the primary liaison, point of contact, and escalation channel between the organisation and IT
• Create and lead a matrix team focused on supporting a specific portfolio of IT activity aligned to the business value chain activity
• Create and facilitate multi-horizon roadmaps and associated plans that deliver technology capabilities in the short, medium and long term

What you’ll bring to the role

You’ll already have some of the skills which make up a great IT Business Partner, like being a proactive self-manager with the ability to take on challenges and find solutions, but there are a few other core areas of experience you’ll bring with you too: 

• Demonstrated expertise across diverse functions and capabilities, including strategy, architecture, delivery, and operations.
• Possess strong business, commercial, and financial acumen
• Skilled in achieving objectives through influence within a matrixed environment
