IT Business Partner - 12 month FTC

This is a hybrid role which will require you to work at least 2 days per week from your local office, and there may be occasional travel to other offices needed. 

Our goal at CityFibre is to unlock the digital potential of Britain by creating a broadband network that works seamlessly for everyone, every day. Powerful, gigabit-speed connections that enable people across entire communities to enjoy life in full flow. To do this, we make sure that our people’s voices are heard, their ideas are welcomed, and everyone is given the opportunity to make a real impact. 

We encourage change, have a challenger mindset, foster innovation and nurture a welcoming, inclusive and supportive community. In this environment we allow you to bring your best-self to work every day, helping you to achieve your goals, grow your career and reach your full potential. 

We’re a Times Top 50 Employer for Women; are endorsed by WORK180; have pledged our commitment to the Armed Forces Covenant; and are a Disability Confident Employer. Working together with our Employee Networks, we’re committed to changing the industry for everyone.  

What you can expect from us 

Everyone at CityFibre has an important part to play, and we reflect that in our benefits. With a competitive salary depending on experience, plus a car allowance, when you join us, you’ll also enjoy 25 days’ holiday, a day off on your birthday, a day off to support a charity or organisation of your choice, a performance-related bonus scheme, and private healthcare. 

We believe we deliver our best when we work together. It’s the way we do things, trusting and giving our people the autonomy to manage their own day-to-day, promoting wellbeing, whilst still prioritising time together with our colleagues to connect, collaborate and share our ideas. 

How you’ll change it up 

You’ll work with the wider IT team to gain alignment of plans, inter-dependencies and strategic direction to ensure that the overall plan for IT is interlocked and optimised – that we are ‘doing the right activities’ and that we are ‘doing activities right’. Day to day, this is what you can expect to be doing: 

• Serve as the primary liaison, point of contact, and escalation channel between the organisation and IT
• Create and lead a matrix team focused on supporting a specific portfolio of IT activity aligned to the business value chain activity
• Create and facilitate multi-horizon roadmaps and associated plans that deliver technology capabilities in the short, medium and long term

What you’ll bring to the role  

You’ll already have some of the skills which make up a great IT Business Partner, like being a proactive self-manager with the ability to take on challenges and find solutions, but there are a few other core areas of experience you’ll bring with you too: 

• Demonstrated expertise across diverse functions and capabilities, including strategy, architecture, delivery, and operations.
• Possess strong business, commercial, and financial acumen
• Skilled in achieving objectives through influence within a matrixed environment

We’re looking for people who don’t settle for ‘good enough’ and push things forward. If you’ve just found yourself thinking, ‘I’d love to do this’, we want to hear from you. Let’s change it up. 

Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging 

Our people have a wide range of experiences and perspectives – and it’s this diversity of thought that makes us who we are.  

CityFibre is working hard to change up the telecoms industry. This means we’re committed to providing equal opportunities to people from all backgrounds and commitments, including your carer and family status, ethnicity, sexual orientation, religion, age, disability, gender and gender identity. We’re also offering training programmes and placement opportunities to support the skilled, career changers, service-leavers, and returning workers to become part of our teams.
