Job Description

About the Role

In modern enterprises, Information Technology is no longer a back-office function; it is the foundation of scalability, security, and operational resilience. We are seeking a Head of Information Technology (IT) to lead enterprise IT strategy, systems architecture, and technology operations for a complex, multi-region organization operating at a global scale.

This role is designed for a senior IT executive who understands how to balance innovation with stability, enable digital transformation without disruption, and ensure technology investments directly support business growth. The Head of IT will own the full enterprise IT landscape, including infrastructure, applications, cloud platforms, cybersecurity, data governance, and IT service management.

As a trusted partner to the executive leadership team, you will translate business strategy into technology roadmaps, modernize legacy environments, and build secure, scalable platforms that support future growth. You will also establish governance, risk management, and operational discipline across IT, ensuring reliability, compliance, and cost transparency.

This is not a systems-maintenance role. It is a mandate to build IT as a strategic enterprise capability, one that enables agility, protects the organization, and scales with confidence.

  • Proven success leading large, complex IT environments across multiple regions.

  • Strong background in cloud infrastructure, cybersecurity, and enterprise systems.

  • Experience driving large-scale technology transformation and modernization initiatives.

  • Demonstrated ability to partner with C-suite leaders and business stakeholders.

  • Strong financial acumen related to IT budgeting, cost optimization, and ROI.

  • Bachelor’s degree required; advanced degree preferred.

Personal Capabilities and Qualifications

  • Enterprise-level strategic thinker with strong execution discipline.

  • Executive presence with credibility at C-suite and Board levels.

  • Risk-aware, security-first mindset balanced with innovation and agility.

  • Highly analytical and data-driven decision-maker.

  • Calm, decisive leader in high-pressure or incident scenarios.

  • Strong people leader who builds accountability, capability, and succession depth.

Strategic Support

  • Serve as a trusted advisor to executive leadership on technology and digital strategy.

  • Support enterprise digital transformation and automation initiatives.

  • Partner with Finance on IT investment governance and cost optimization.

  • Collaborate with Security, Data, and Operations leaders on risk and resilience.

  • Support M&A due diligence, systems integration, and platform consolidation.

Working Conditions

  • Hybrid executive work environment with enterprise-wide responsibility.

  • Regular engagement with executive leadership, business heads, and technology partners.

  • On-call or escalation responsibility during critical incidents.

  • Periodic domestic and international travel.

  • High-visibility role with direct impact on enterprise performance and security.
