You'll bring: * Strong commercial instinct, not just technical depth. * Experience with platform scaling (cloud, data, ERP, billing). * A track record of leading transformation in evolving organisations. * The ability to bring people with you through change, especially in a traditional family led business. ## Description Build the digital engine behind one of the UK's most ambitious subscription growth stories. Most CIO roles ask you to run technology - This one asks you to reshape how a £150m & 1,700 head count business grows. This is a highly profitable, family-owned British success story delivering to over half a million customers each week. With deep roots in FMCG, farming and logistics, the business is now evolving toward a digital-first, subscription-led model and investing heavily to get there. This is a newly created board-facing role, designed to put technology, data and digital at the heart of commercial growth. The Opportunity You will act as the architect & catalyst of the next phase, helping transition from a traditional route-to-market to a digitally driven, recurring revenue platform. The business is already acquiring ~8,000 customers per week through traditional channels vs ~1,000 digitally. Your mandate is clear: flip that model and enable digital to scale into the growth engine. What You Will Own Digital Growth & Commercial Impact * Scale digital acquisition and optimise conversion. * Build subscription, pricing, and personalisation capability. * Drive improvements in LTV, CAC, and basket economics. * Partner closely with Commercial, Marketing and Leadership team. Transformation & Platform Modernisation * Lead enterprise-wide digital transformation programmes. * Modernise core platforms (ERP, CRM, billing, data). * Reduce technical debt and enable scalable architecture. * Increase automation across logistics and operations. Data & Insight * Create a single customer and operational data view. * Shift the business toward real-time, predictive decision making. * Elevate data maturity to board-level decision support. Cyber Security & Governance * Own cyber and information security strategy (ISO 27001, GDPR). * Implement "security by design" across platforms. * Provide clear, board-level reporting on risk and resilience. Leadership & Culture * Build and lead a multi-disciplinary function (Digital, IT, Data). * Embed a product-led, agile, outcome-focused culture. * Drive adoption across a business still early in its digital journey. The Environment * £150m turnover, 1,650 employees. * National logistics footprint. * Financially robust & cash-generative business. * Significant investment underway. * Entrepreneurial, fast-paced, family-led decision making. You will work directly with an engaged and ambitious leadership team, including individuals from major FMCG & Logistics operators. ## Related Videos - [Thinking Differently - How to Make Money from Cyber Attacks & Cheats](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/745-thinking-differently-how-to-make-money-from-cyber-attacks-cheats) - [Resolving technical debts in software architecture](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1680-resolving-technical-debts-in-software-architecture) - [Dos and don'ts with react hooks.
