As a member of our Senior Leadership Team, we are looking to see that you bring a demonstrable level of experience of leading
transformation and change initiatives, ideally with a specialist background in IS, Data and Digital Leadership.
In your previous roles you will have gained experience of managing IT budgets and portfolios as well as team leadership, driving
modernisation and innovation.
Whether you have worked in the charity or not-for-profit sector before, it would be more advantageous if you have experience of
working in a complex matrix organisation, delivering outcome-based projects and programmes.
You will bring excellent interpersonal skills, be able to influence, build and maintain strong working relationships with a wide
range of stakeholders in a collaborative and consultative way.
Working between our 2 key locations in Nottingham (within the Malt Cross pub!) or Newark (within our Activity & Community
Village), our hybrid working policy allows for 1 day working from home once you are full trained. We do ask for some flexibility
to meet the demands of the organisation - you will manage your diary and we trust you to be where you need to be to be most
effective.
We operate in 5 locations across the East Midlands, Nottingham, Newark, Mansfield, Worksop and Goole. You must have your own car
and be able to drive to these locations in the course of your role if required.
This post is subject to a satisfactory enhanced DBS check (paid for by YMCA) and registration with the DBS Update Service. We
reserve the right to withdraw this role before the closing date should we be able to appoint to the role.
