About the role

You will work alongside our existing Business Systems Manager to manage and improve the corporate and business applications that colleagues across SYMCA rely on every day.

There is plenty to get involved in. Alongside running and improving existing services, you will help us modernise applications, strengthen integration, improve our use of data and reduce manual processes.

You will

Take ownership of key business systems and areas of the application portfolio

Work closely with our Digital Platforms, Digital Delivery, Live Operations and Cyber Security teams

This is not a role where you will simply maintain an established set of applications. You will have scope to take ownership, solve problems and influence how our Business Systems function develops.

About you

We are looking for someone who understands business applications and knows how to run and improve them.

You might already be a Business Systems Manager, Applications Manager or Applications Lead, or you may be ready to step into a broader management role.

You will bring

Experience managing or leading business applications in a complex organisation

Experience translating business problems into practical technology solutions
