- Support M&A, integrations, and carve-outs where required
Requirements
- Proven CIO or senior technology leader experience within consumer, retail, FMCG, or multi-channel businesses

- Strong understanding of PE-backed dynamics, value creation, and pace of execution
- Deep experience across ERP, cloud platforms, data, and cyber security
- Commercial mindset with the ability to translate technology into EBITDA impact
- Gravitas to operate at board level, balanced with a hands-on, delivery-focused approach
Benefits & conditions
