We’re partnering with a fast-growing, technology-led financial services business to appoint an Interim Head of Enterprise Technology.
Reporting into the CIO, this is a broad senior technology leadership role responsible for bringing together the organisation’s internal technology estate across enterprise architecture, cloud and infrastructure, business systems, integration platforms and IT operations.
The business operates with the pace and mindset of a modern, agile technology company, and this individual will play a key role in creating clearer ownership, simplifying the estate and establishing a scalable enterprise technology operating model that can support continued growth.
The Role
You’ll sit above established senior leaders across areas including IT Operations and DevOps/Cloud, providing overarching leadership and direction across Enterprise Technology.
A key part of the mandate will be bringing together technology ownership that currently sits across different functions and establishing greater consistency, accountability and governance across the estate.
You’ll be responsible for:
- Defining and delivering the Enterprise Technology strategy and operating model
- Leading across IT Operations, Infrastructure, Cloud, Enterprise Architecture and Business Systems
- Creating clearer ownership, standards and governance across the technology estate
- Driving the simplification, centralisation and modernisation of enterprise technology
- Owning enterprise architecture standards, design principles and technology roadmaps
- Overseeing cloud and infrastructure strategy, including resilience, scalability, disaster recovery and business continuity
- Bringing greater structure and governance around enterprise applications and corporate technology platforms
- Providing oversight of integration platforms, APIs and shared technology services
- Improving service management, operational maturity and employee technology experience
- Managing strategic technology partners, suppliers, budgets and investment priorities
- Working closely with Engineering, Product, Data & AI and Security leadership
- Acting as a trusted technology adviser to the CIO and wider executive leadership team
