About the role

Are you ready to take your career to new heights? Edinburgh Airport is looking for an enthusiastic and driven IT Change Lead to join our dynamic team.

As the IT Change Lead, you will play a crucial role in supporting our ambitious growth strategy by facilitating a wide range of technology changes across the airport. You will directly contribute to the delivery of technology at all levels, from supporting capital delivery programmes and construction-led activity, through to implementing smaller-scale IT solutions that have a direct and positive impact on the business.

These smaller-scale solutions could include supporting the development and implementation of cyber security frameworks, scoping and delivering practical IT tools, or responding quickly to emerging business needs where technology can provide a timely and effective solution. This is an exciting opportunity to see first hand how the initiatives you help shape and deliver improve the way our teams operate, enhance the experience of our campus partners, and support Edinburgh Airport in achieving its future growth ambitions.

• Lead the collaboration from all IT specialisms, suppliers and business stakeholders to ensure solutions are designed, delivered and transitioned effectively.
• Be a custodian for governance and control across the IT change portfolio, including adherence to IT change management best practice.
• Manage and prioritise a portfolio of third-party or campus partner technology requests, ensuring expectations, costs, timelines and dependencies are clearly communicated.
• Play a key part in ensuring new or changed services are adopted smoothly by operational teams, with appropriate communication, training, documentation and support arrangements in place.
• Support the delivery of IT workstreams within wider capital, construction and business change projects.
• Identify opportunities to improve IT change processes, tools and ways of working, promoting a culture of continuous improvement.
• Build trusted working relationships across the airport, acting as a positive and pragmatic representative of the IT department.
