About the role
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. * Strong Microsoft estate background: Azure, Dynamics 365, Power Platform, M365. * 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.
