About this job
You will ensure that ICT infrastructure services and support provided across the UK to our organising teams and members continues to be of the highest standard and at the leading edge of the trade union movement. You will need to be able to inspire, motivate and lead project groups and service providers involved in the continuous development of the services.
Key challenges of this national role will include project management and co-ordination of ICT infrastructure developments and projects across the whole organisation – including development of the business case, organisational requirements and provision of resources. Third party provider relationship management is a critical part of this role, as is the ability to provide technical assurance to projects outside of the Systems Management function.
You’ll have experience of working at a national level in the trade union/not for profit sector as well as the wider commercial environment. You’ll have a track record of leading and managing national ICT service delivery including successful infrastructure development projects, and you will have been involved with sourcing, selecting and managing service providers. Ideally you will have an IT qualification and be a PRINCE2 practitioner. Although based in the UNISON Centre in Central London, this is a national role and you will need to undertake occasional travel to UNISON’s regional offices
