Role Overview : Senior Manager, Corporate Technology & Security

We are seeking a senior, hands-on technology leader to own and continuously evolve the company's corporate technology and security landscape, with a strong focus on enabling speed, innovation, and scalable growth.

This role has end-to-end accountability for internal IT systems, security, access management, and data protection in a hybrid, regulated environment. Beyond stability and compliance, you will actively use technology, automation, and AI to improve how teams operate, collaborate, and deliver outcomes.

You will act as a central enabling function for the organisation: evaluating new tools, experimenting where appropriate, and helping teams adopt technologies that genuinely make them more effective. While this is a Senior Manager role, it carries clear ownership and decision rights, and a strong expectation to challenge the status quo.

Core Responsibilities

  • Ownership of Corporate Technology as a Growth Enabler
    • Own the company's internal technology and security landscape end-to-end
    • Define and continuously evolve the target state for corporate IT and internal platforms
    • Actively identify opportunities where technology, automation, or AI can remove friction or unlock new ways of working
    • Balance innovation, speed, security, and cost in a regulated environment
  • Tech Foresight, Innovation & AI Enablement
    • Stay close to emerging technologies, AI capabilities, and modern tooling
    • Proactively assess where new technologies can create real business value
    • Enable safe experimentation and structured adoption of new tools
    • Help teams understand and use technology effectively rather than introducing tools for their own sake
    • Promote a culture where technology is seen as an enabler, not a bottleneck
  • Security, Risk & Compliance Enablement
    • Own corporate security principles across identity, access, devices, and data
    • Ensure appropriate protection of sensitive, personal, and regulated data
    • Lead security risk assessments, audits, and remediation initiatives
    • Translate regulatory and compliance requirements into pragmatic, workable setups
    • Build security awareness as a habit across the organisation
  • Identity, Access & Device Management
    • Own user identity, access control, and device management in a hybrid setup
    • Define standards for onboarding, offboarding, and privilege management
    • Ensure secure and efficient device lifecycle management
    • Balance strong security with usability and productivity
  • Internal Platforms, Tools & Integrations
    • Own the corporate tooling ecosystem across functions
    • Define principles for tool selection, integration, and data ownership
    • Work with functional leaders to ensure tools support real business outcomes
    • Reduce complexity and prevent tool sprawl while enabling innovation
  • External Vendors & Technology Partners
    • Select, onboard, and manage external IT, security, and technology partners
    • Decide what should be built internally versus sourced externally
    • Define scopes, SLAs, and accountability models
    • Ensure continuity, scalability, and cost discipline
  • Policies, Resilience & Continuity
    • Own IT, security, and data policies as living documents
    • Ensure robust backup, recovery, and business continuity setups
    • Regularly test and improve resilience rather than relying on static plans

Requirements

Experience

  • 6-10 years of experience in corporate IT, security, or internal technology roles
  • Experience owning and evolving IT setups in hybrid or distributed organisations
  • Exposure to regulated or compliance-driven environments
  • Proven experience working with external vendors and service providers

Mindset & Ways of Working

  • Strong curiosity for new technology and AI, paired with good judgement
  • Comfortable challenging existing setups and proposing better alternatives

Technical Foundation

  • Solid understanding of SaaS ecosystems, cloud platforms, and integrations
  • Practical experience with identity, access management, and security controls
  • Comfortable with automation, scripting, and structured data formats
  • Able to assess and guide technical designs without needing to build everything personally

What Success Looks Like

  • Teams feel enabled, not slowed down, by corporate technology
  • New tools and AI capabilities are adopted deliberately and effectively
  • Security and compliance are predictable, not reactive
  • The company can scale people, data, and complexity without constant rework

What This Role Is Not

  • Not a helpdesk or ticket-only IT support role
  • Not a one-person "do everything" IT function
  • Not technology for technology's sake
