IT DIRECTOR, BOUTIQUE ASSET & INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT SPECIALIST
CENTRAL LONDON (MAYFAIR) - £100k to £130k + EXCELLENT PACKAGE
Technology Business Leadership
An FCA-regulated asset and investment management firm in Central London now needs to recruit an IT Director to join their Senior Leadership Team.
The IT Director will oversee UK and international IT operations, providing on-premise and cloud solutions. The IT Director will need to be able to work with different teams including investment management, finance, compliance, and business support.
The company has offices in London, Zurich, and Gibraltar, which will require some international travel on an occasional basis. It is envisaged that this role can be performed on a ‘hybrid’ basis of 1-2 days per week in the office, the remainder working remotely.
Key duties:
· Manage helpdesk, DevOps, and technical support staff.
· Working with regulators, auditors, and others to ensure IT regulatory and financial compliance.
· Business-supporting IT strategy.
· Manage infrastructure, SQL-based applications, and financial solutions.
· Maintain IT, remote access, telephony, and video conferencing/meeting systems.
· Manage IT and technology vendor relationships.
· GDPR, data protection, and cyber security management.
· IT and application training for personnel.
Future plans:
· Upgrade technology, including O365 and Azure migration and AV integration.
· Bring outsourced services back in house for a more agile IT-business fit.
· Next-generation investment management software to replace legacy systems.
Background about the role:
This new role has been created following the moving on of the existing IT Manager (who has reported to the Finance Director). The Senior Leadership Team have concluded that IT needs to play a more significant role in the business, and so a new role has been created, with the incoming IT Director reporting instead to the CEO.
The new IT Director will also be required to drive a process of ‘technology renewal' across the organisation, reflecting the changing operating environment and the realisation that more colleagues are working remotely/from home.
