Capita said that the added responsibility will help Parker to more directly support Pindar.
"This new enlarged role recognises Andy's depth of skills and experience and his valued contribution to Capita's success," Pindar said.
"Andy has played a key role in enhancing the operational strength of the company and in broadening our capability through identifying and successfully integrating a number of key acquisitions."
The shake-up comes a week after Capita was selected by network provider O2 for a 10-year strategic partnership worth £1.2bn. The firm is to run and manage O2's customer services centres and support O2 as it enhances and expands its digital services.
