Full Job Description

A transformation-heavy programme is looking for a System Optimisation Lead on an initial six-month contract to take ownership of the support, implementation, configuration and optimisation of business-critical systems. The day rate is GBP 680 inside IR35. The right person will be comfortable operating across multiple initiatives at once. You will head up the deployment, configuration and day-to-day support of enterprise applications and systems, performing upgrades, updates, patching and configuration changes to keep platforms secure and running at their best. You will be the go-to technical authority for your assigned systems, advising stakeholders on best practice and troubleshooting issues in front-end and backend environments alike. You will need to balance day-to-day support demands with longer-term optimisation work. The role involves direct liaison with third-party suppliers and software vendors to manage incidents and resolve technical problems, plus assessing and fine-tuning system performance, settings, workflows and integrations to boost the user experience and overall operational efficiency. You will also support testing through system, integration, UAT and post-implementation phases. A significant part of the job is helping people get the most out of the technology: delivering training, coaching and end-user support to improve adoption, forging close ties with internal stakeholders, technical colleagues, suppliers and the programme delivery teams, and providing regular reporting and management information to project stakeholders. Requirements: - Background in organisation design and transformation or change delivery - Proven leadership of technology-led change or major system rollouts - Experience implementing, configuring and supporting enterprise systems and applications - Strong troubleshooting in front-end and backend environments alike - Proven ability to manage incidents and relationships with external software suppliers - Skilled at coaching users and delivering training on system features and good practice - Excellent communication and stakeholder skills with both technical and business audiences - Exposure to the full testing lifecycle, from system and integration tests through to UAT
