Head of Digital Workplace - London, United Kingdom - Bertelsmann
Description
This job is brought to you by Jobs/Redefined, the UK's leading over-50s age inclusive jobs board.
Are you ready to take on a pivotal role shaping the future of work at Penguin Random House UK?
We are seeking a dynamic and driven Head of Digital Workplace to join our team on an initial 14-month FTC to cover a period of parental leave. In this role, you will play a pivotal role in working with key business stakeholders to ensure alignment between our Technology teams and our business functions to enhance operational value, service and customer satisfaction. With a focus on Digital Workplace systems, you will play a significant role in redefining how Technology services are delivered, contributing to the harmonisation of business systems across all our locations.
In this position you will report into our Director of Enterprise Strategy, Architecture and Workplace Solutions and line manage a team of 4.
In this role, your responsibilities will include:
What you'll bring:
About Penguin:
We're the UK's largest publisher; made up of some 2,000 people and publishing over 1,500 books each year. Our doors are open to all kinds of talent. In a constantly evolving industry, we work hard to stretch the definition of the word publisher. Here, you'll work with a breadth of talent who all play their part to make each of our books a success. Together, we make books for everyone because a book can change anyone.
Our approach to hybrid working:
While our offices are places for you to connect, collaborate and celebrate with colleagues, having flexibility about where you work is just as important for doing your best work and for your wellbeing. So, we don't have a one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to how we work across Penguin Random House UK.
For this role, there are regular meetings and activities that you will need to attend in person mainly at our offices in London. Outside of these moments, you can choose to work remotely.
The exact balance of office to remote working can be discussed with your future manager during the recruitment process. What we can say now is that you won't need to go into the office five days a week, unless of course you want to.
Please apply with your CV by Wednesday 1st May. Interviews will likely be held virtually and in-person across a two-stage process.
What you can expect from us:
Salary: Circa £100,000 dependent on how your skills and experience align to the role, plus bonus and benefits.
Our people are the heart of our business, and we work hard to support a culture of responsibility and recognition. Our benefits include:
