What You’ll Do:

• Own systems design as a primary responsibility, including information flow and system integrations across the organization; approve new systems, define technology standards, and set the sourcing strategy across internal, external, and cloud delivery
• Own internal IT strategy, governance, and capability planning — set the internal IT strategy and roadmap, establish a right-sized governance framework (policies, delegated authority, decision forums), and manage the IT capability plan
• Own the IT budget and vendor relationships — manage the total IT budget and investment plan, lead supplier negotiations, and own strategic vendor relationships
• Partner with Compliance & Security on risk and continuity — act as the primary IT contact for operational security and compliance, own ICT third-party risk management, and define continuity and recovery requirements
• Lead the IT team — line-manage the IT Operations Manager (whom the remainder of the IT Team report to), work hands-on with the team during peak periods, and report on IT performance, risk, and cost

What You’ll Bring:

• Solid experience in IT leadership, including responsibility for strategy, budget, and systems design, gained in a small-to-mid-size, high-growth software or technology company

• Commercial and contractual skills, including negotiating and managing ICT supplier agreements
• Hands-on, pragmatic leadership style, with a degree in IT, engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience)

What We Value:

• Clear communication — able to translate technical matters into business terms
• Humility, curiosity, and adaptability over process-heavy habits
• Comfortable operating both at governance level and in the technical details, as needed
• Sound judgment in balancing strategic ownership with the practical realities of a lean IT organization
