Job Description

This is a remote position.

Our client is a global advisory business in the energy industry, operating across North America and Europe. They are looking for a single technology leader accountable for everything technical in the business: the systems the company runs on and the platforms their clients use directly.

This is a broad role in a company of roughly 300 people. The technology estate is small enough that the leader stays hands on, and significant enough that the decisions matter commercially.

What you will own

• Enterprise IT and operations across multiple countries: network, cybersecurity, endpoints, service desk, identity and access.
• Internal business systems, including Dynamics 365 CRM and Finance & Operations, and the reporting stack.
• A portfolio of client-facing platforms across two regions, covering maintenance, roadmap and the connectivity between them.
• AI and automation adoption, working directly with business teams to map processes and introduce tooling that supports growth without proportional headcount increase.
• Technology cost, vendor relationships and managed-service arrangements.
• A distributed technology team across several countries.

What we are looking for

• Experience leading technology in a mid-sized organisation, covering both internal corporate systems and client-facing products.
• Genuinely hands on. Builds and uses modern tooling personally rather than only sponsoring it.
• Demonstrable experience managing vendors, licensing and technology cost.
• Comfortable operating across multiple countries and time zones.
• A practical, business-first approach. This is not an environment for heavy process or top-down IT governance.

Useful but not required

• Exposure to data platform work: Azure Data Lake, Databricks, Fabric, Power BI.
• Experience in a business that has recently changed ownership or become standalone.

Energy sector experience is preferred not required.
