Overview

Our client is one of the largest and most innovative construction companies in Vietnam, seeking to undergo a massive digital overhaul to address long-standing manual processes and red tape.

They are seeking a forward-thinking, communicative, and worldly Head of IT / Digital Transformation to lead the planning, implementation, and scaling of digital initiatives across their construction and manufacturing operations. You will join a special task force reporting to the chairman. Success will spark a wave of transformation across the affiliated group and may lead to advancement opportunities at the Group level or C-suite.

The ideal candidate will have extensive experience managing enterprise software implementation and driving change management—preferably in construction, real estate development, or related project-based industries (not required). They should also have a motivation to return and contribute to Vietnam’s growth in the long term.

Fluency or near-fluency in Vietnamese is required, without exception. The role offers an expatriate package to the right candidate.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and execute a company-wide digital transformation strategy aligned with business goals and operational needs.
• Lead the evaluation, selection, and rollout of new software platforms (e.g., ERP, project management tools, field productivity apps, procurement systems).
• Serve as the bridge between business users and IT vendors, ensuring solutions are practical, scalable, and user-friendly.
• Manage full project lifecycle for digital initiatives from requirements gathering and vendor management to implementation and training.
• Drive change management initiatives to foster adoption and improve digital literacy across construction/manufacturing teams and business units.
• Identify pain points and inefficiencies in current processes, and recommend technology-driven solutions to streamline operations.
• Monitor KPIs and ROI of technology investments; regularly report progress and performance to executive leadership.
• Champion a culture of continuous improvement and digital innovation across departments.
• Stay updated on construction tech trends (e.g., BIM, drones, AI-based scheduling, IoT) and assess their applicability to the company.

Requirements

• At least 8 to 15 years of experience in digital transformation, IT program management, or business process improvement.
• Fluent or near-fluent in Vietnamese.
• Ability to relocate to Vietnam — ideally before the end of 2025.
• Strong track record leading successful software implementation projects (e.g., ERP, document management, field operations platforms).
• Prior experience in the construction, engineering, real estate, or infrastructure development industries is highly preferred.
• Excellent understanding of organizational change management, including communication and training strategies.
• Strong stakeholder engagement skills and ability to work cross-functionally with operations, finance, IT, procurement, and field teams.
• Proven ability to manage multiple projects and vendor relationships concurrently.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills; comfort with data, dashboards, and KPIs.
• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Construction Management, Information Systems, or related field.
