Lead Global Technology. Drive Commercial Success. Make a Business Impact.

We’re partnering with a well-established global industrial organization to identify an accomplished Senior Technology Manager to lead a high-impact technology organization supporting global operations, commercial business functions, and customer-facing technology solutions.

This is an opportunity for a strategic, technically credible technology leader who can connect enterprise technology delivery with business performance, revenue growth, operational reliability, and customer satisfaction.

• Oversee enterprise application development, technology implementations, integrations, and customer-facing software solutions.
• Direct global, 24/7 technology support and operations, ensuring application reliability, service continuity, customer satisfaction, and adherence to SLAs.
• Partner with executive leadership and global customers to align technology strategy, investments, and delivery priorities with commercial and operational objectives.
• Manage budgets, project financials, resource planning, vendor relationships, delivery commitments, and operational risks.
• Support commercial contracts, cybersecurity and data protection requirements, and continuous technology modernization.
• Lead customer escalations and coordinate technical teams to resolve complex technology and application issues.
• Build a high-performing organization through strong leadership, accountability, collaboration, and talent development.

What We’re Looking For

• 10+ years of progressive technology management and leadership experience.
• Proven success leading enterprise software, application development, and technology delivery within a large, global organization.
• Experience managing multidisciplinary technical teams and complex, business-critical technology environments.
• Strong business acumen, with the ability to connect technology strategy and investments to revenue, financial performance, operational efficiency, and customer outcomes.
• Experience overseeing global support operations, production environments, service-level commitments, and customer-facing technology services.
• Strong executive communication, financial management, vendor management, and strategic planning skills.
• Sufficient technical depth to guide software engineering, application, and architecture teams without needing to be a hands-on developer.
• Ability to work effectively across business, technical, and customer-facing functions.
• Bachelor’s degree in Information Technology or equivalent professional experience.

Compensation & Benefits

• $180K–$190K target base salary.
• 20% target annual incentive, with potential to reach 40% through incentive multipliers.
