Job description

This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Chief Technology Officer / VP of Technology based in Italy. As the executive technology leader for a global energy advisory firm of roughly 300 professionals across Europe and North America, you will hold complete accountability for the entire technical ecosystem. This pivotal role balances high-level commercial impact with a practical, hands-on approach, bridging internal corporate systems with sophisticated client-facing digital products. You will lead cross-border enterprise IT, oversee a distributed international team, direct managed services, and orchestrate modern AI and automation strategies to scale operations efficiently. Operating in an agile, business-first environment without heavy administrative friction, your technical vision and execution will directly shape company growth, vendor partnerships, and core client capabilities across multiple regions.

Accountabilities

• Enterprise IT and operations across multiple countries, including network infrastructure, cybersecurity, endpoint management, global service desk, and identity and access management.
• Internal business systems and reporting architecture, maintaining and optimizing Microsoft Dynamics 365 CRM, Finance & Operations, and associated data workflows.
• Portfolio management of client-facing platforms in two regions, defining product roadmaps, ensuring system connectivity, and driving continuous platform maintenance.
• AI and automation integration, collaborating directly with business units to optimize processes and deploy modern tools that drive growth without proportional headcount expansion.
• Strategic technology cost management, managing global vendor relationships, licensing negotiations, and outsourced managed-service arrangements.
• Leadership and mentorship of a distributed, multi-country technology team, fostering a high-performance culture across time zones.

Requirements

• Proven track record leading technology strategy and execution within a mid-sized organization, encompassing both internal business systems and client-facing digital products.
• Deep experience in the Microsoft technology ecosystem, including Azure, Dynamics 365, Power Platform, and Microsoft 365 environments.
• Hands-on operational leadership style, actively engaging with and building upon modern tools rather than solely delegating or overseeing high-level governance.
• Strong commercial acumen with demonstrable success in vendor negotiations, licensing optimization, and multi-country technology budget management.
• High adaptability and cross-cultural communication skills required to lead distributed teams and support operations across various time zones.
• Pragmatic, business-first mindset suited for a lean, efficient environment that values speed and outcomes over heavy process or top-down IT governance.
• Familiarity with modern data platform architecture (Azure Data Lake, Databricks, Microsoft Fabric, Power BI), experience navigating corporate ownership transitions, or prior energy sector exposure is highly advantageous.

Benefits

• Competitive executive salary package reflecting the impact and scale of the role.
• Fully remote work model offering geographic and schedule flexibility.
• Comprehensive healthcare and medical coverage plan.
• Global business exposure and opportunities for professional leadership growth in a scaling, international energy advisory environment.
• Direct access to executive decision-makers and key business stakeholders in a streamlined, low-bureaucracy organizational culture.
