An international organisation is looking for an experienced Director of Technology to lead a portfolio of strategic initiatives designed to improve operational performance, customer experience and the way technology is used across the business.

This is a senior, business-facing role combining transformation, technology, process improvement, automation and digital innovation.

You will work closely with senior leadership to identify opportunities for improvement, develop the transformation roadmap and lead delivery from strategy through to measurable business outcomes.

What You’ll Be Responsible For

Leadership

You will lead a multidisciplinary transformation function including:

• Business Analysis
• Solution Architecture
• Business Applications
• Systems Integration
• Digital Product
• Automation
• External Technology Partners

You will be responsible for building a high-performing team and establishing a culture of innovation, continuous improvement and delivery accountability.

We’re interested in senior professionals who have operated across the business and technology interface, rather than candidates from a purely technical or infrastructure background.

You are likely to have experience in several of the following:

• Business or digital transformation
• Technology strategy
• Enterprise applications / business systems
• ERP or CRM
• Solution architecture
• Systems integration and APIs
• Process optimisation
• Automation
• AI / emerging technology
• Data and analytics
• Programme or portfolio management

You should have a strong track record of taking transformation initiatives from strategy and business case through to implementation and measurable benefits.

The Ideal Candidate

You’ll be a commercially minded transformation leader who can:

• Influence senior stakeholders and translate business challenges into practical solutions.
• Balance strategic thinking with delivery.
• Challenge existing processes and technology where appropriate.
• Build consensus across different business functions.
• Lead complex change across multiple teams or regions.
• Demonstrate tangible improvements in efficiency, cost, customer experience or revenue.
• Understand technology sufficiently to challenge architecture, applications and integration decisions without needing to be the hands-on technical specialist.
