Pioneer public sector procurement; Do the right thing; Give your career fresh perspective; Embrace creativity; Make a difference
Welcome, and thank you for your interest in this role.

As Managing Director, I’m delighted that you’re exploring this opportunity at such a pivotal moment in our organisation’s journey. Following our 50th anniversary, we are looking firmly to the future, one defined by major transformation across the procurement landscape, new legislation through the Procurement Act 2023, and an ambitious evolution of our own services, culture, and capability.

As a 100% publicly owned organisation, owned by 13 local authorities, we are proud to return financial dividends directly into the public sector, helping fund vital frontline services. Our commercial strength enables us to operate competitively at pace and scale, while staying rooted in public value and social impact. This balance is what makes YPO a uniquely rewarding place to lead.

About the role
As Head of IT, you will drive our digital ambition and ensure our technology, systems, and people are equipped to deliver it. This means working strategically with leaders across YPO and partner organisations, while remaining close to operational delivery to help teams succeed day‑to‑day. We are looking for an inspiring leader with the resilience, vision, and collaborative approach needed to deliver modern, effective, and future‑ready IT services. Whether your background is public or private sector, what matters most is your ability to operate at scale and lead meaningful change.

This role is not a typical public sector appointment. It will offer you pace, innovation, and commercial challenge in a competitive market environment, combined with the sense of purpose that comes from delivering services that benefit communities.

Join us…

You will join talented, committed colleagues working in an organisation with strong values, clear ambition, and a genuine desire to make a difference.

YPO is committed to eliminating discrimination and encouraging a diverse, inclusive workforce where every colleague feels respected and able to give their best.
If you are interested in joining our team and are inspired to help lead the next phase of our journey, we look forward to your application. To further your interest in the role, please review the full details of the role, supporting information and details of how to apply: https://nyresourcing.co.uk/ypo-executive-director-head-of-it/.
