Vice President of Technology

VP of Technology & Digital | New York City | Hybrid

We’re looking for a VP of Technology & Digital to join a global media business at a pivotal point in its evolution. This is not a maintenance role. It’s a build-and-transform opportunity: leading major technology integrations in a new global group structure, modernising the existing IT estate, and building the digital capabilities that will improve client outcomes and support growth.

Based in Manhattan, NYC, hybrid 2 days per week onsite, you’ll report to the Global Head of Data & AI and inherit 5 globally placed reports.

You’ll have two core priorities in this role:

Lead technology integration

• Own the technology integration roadmap and execution
• Build a clear 90-day plan, manage dependencies and mitigate delivery risk
• Lead integration across core platforms including ERP, CRM and other global systems
• Ensure data integrity, operational continuity and clear ownership throughout the transition
• Identify technology synergies and opportunities across the combined organisation
• Work closely with global technology teams and stakeholders across the wider group

Build the future technology capability

• Modernise the internal technology estate and introduce scalable operating standards
• Act as the key bridge between technology and the wider business
• Lead and develop a globally distributed technology team
• Work closely with the Head of Data & AI to enable data, analytics and AI initiatives
• Improve client-facing technology across delivery, reporting, project management and digital workflows
• Develop a digital/product mindset focused on client and commercial impact
• Identify opportunities to use technology and AI to create new, scalable client offerings

The first 12+ months will be heavily integration-focused, followed by a broader transformation agenda across CRM, ERP, digital platforms and technology-enabled growth.

What we're looking for

You’ll ideally have:

• Clear technology leadership experience in global/group structures and internationally distributed teams
• Experience leading technology within a professional/services-led business
• Direct M&A integration experience, having owned and delivered integration workstreams
• Strong understanding of ERP, CRM, HR and data platforms
• Strong commercial and business acumen, with the ability to communicate effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders
• A pragmatic, hands-on leadership style and a track record of modernising technology while maintaining operational stability

The opportunity

You’ll inherit an existing team and foundation, but have the mandate to make changes, modernise the function and build what comes next.

This is an opportunity to have a significant impact across both the local business and the wider global group, with international technology professionals reporting into you and the opportunity to shape the technology strategy as the business grows.

If you’re a technology leader who wants to move beyond running IT and instead build technology that enables growth, integration and better client outcomes, we’d love to hear from you.

Location: Manhattan, NYC hybrid, 2 days per week onsite
