Head of Tech Strategy (FSI Industry)

Role Overview As the Head of Tech Strategy, you will be the connective tissue between our specialized engineering domains and our overarching business ambitions. You aren't just managing a roadmap; you are responsible for synthesizing individual strategies-from Infrastructure and Data to Product Engineering and Security-into a single, cohesive technological narrative.

Your goal is to ensure that our technology isn't just a collection of high-performing silos, but a unified engine that drives the company's competitive advantage.

Core Responsibilities

1. Strategic Synthesis & Integration

• The Unified Blueprint: Distill complex strategies from various tech pillars (Cloud, Data/AI, DevOps, Security) into a single, cohesive vision that is easily understood by both the Board and the engineering org.
• Cross-Pillar Alignment: Identify dependencies and resolve contradictions between different department roadmaps to ensure the tech stack scales harmoniously.
• Architectural Cohesion: Partner with the CTO and Lead Architects to ensure individual pillar decisions (e.g., Build vs. Buy in Data) align with the long-term enterprise vision.
  
  

2. Business-Tech Bridge

• Value Translation: Articulate how technical debt reduction, infrastructure modernization, and R&D efforts translate directly into business KPIs and ROI.
• Strategic Planning: Lead the annual and quarterly technical planning cycles, ensuring budget allocation reflects the priorities of the holistic strategy.
• Market Intelligence: Stay ahead of industry trends (GenAI, Edge Computing, etc.) to determine how and when these should be integrated into the overarching strategy.
  
  

3. Governance & Execution

• Performance Metrics: Establish a unified framework for measuring the health of the tech strategy, moving beyond siloed metrics to holistic outcomes.
• Strategic Communication: Act as the primary storyteller for the tech organization, producing white papers, strategy decks, and internal comms that align the workforce.

Experience:10+ years in technology leadership, with a proven track record of managing cross-functional technical programs.

Systems Thinking: Ability to see the big picture and understand how a change in one pillar (e.g., Security) impacts the velocity of another (e.g., Product).

Communication: Exceptional ability to narrate complex technical concepts into a compelling business case for non-technical stakeholders.

Strategic Frameworks: Proficiency in frameworks like Wardley Mapping, McKinsey 7S, or OKRs to drive organizational alignment.

Additional Advantage: Ideally coming from Consulting environments or Strategy Consulting background
