Information Systems Lead

Syntech is looking for an Information Systems Lead to take ownership of our IS function and build it into a capability that keeps pace with the company. This is a hands-on, player-coach role. Today you will personally hold the most business-critical systems across automation, ERP integration, BI and web. Over time you will design and build the team and partner network around them — and grow into the Head of Information Systems role as you do.

You will report to executive management and work across every department — sales, finance, operations and marketing. The function is currently held by a single outgoing specialist, so you will start as the sole IS practitioner. A core part of the mandate is to change that: to engineer out the single-point-of-failure risk by building the right mix of hires and specialist partners around the estate.

This is a rare opportunity to define a function rather than inherit one, with a clear, earned path to Head of Information Systems as the team and capability are established.
