City, United Kingdom Sovereign Executive Search & Selection Ltd Full time

IT Director, Insurance, London (City), £90k-£130k+ benefits

Our specialised motor insurance lines insurer in the City of London seeks an IT Director. The incoming IT Director will have a strong mandate for change, introducing innovative new technology and methods of working to a "traditional" insurance specialist.

The IT Director will be an integral member of the business's leadership team, initially tasked with developing an IT strategy and technology road map to support the company's ongoing expansion and the planned exit of a private equity investor/possible IPO process.

Currently, the IT function resides within the Finance Department. The IT Director will oversee the separation of IT from finance and into its own department, reporting directly to the CEO.

This change process will require IT teams to transition from disparate teams and third-party vendors to a unified, "one team" approach. The IT Director will oversee IT expenditures, budgets, and overall IT-business interactions.

Ideally our client seeks a very business focused Head of IT or IT Director who is confident and capable of engaging on wider business issues beyond just IT and technology, including articulating IT issues at boardroom and investor level.

The ideal candidate for the position of IT Director would possess the following qualities:

Capable of serving as a technology evangelist as an IT Director without overwhelming or confusing non-technical decision makers.

Must have the ability to manage a multifunctional IT department, including development teams and Helpdesk operations.

Experience of insurance, insuretech, financial services or fintech would be an advantage.

Regularly communicate at up to board level and understand business needs.

Present technical solutions to the business and be able to explain their impact and potential benefits.

• In addition to managing IT and technical services, the IT Director must also be a true leader within the company.

The IT Director position is located in the London headquarters (City). The company has adopted a "agile" working environment, enabling remote work for the majority of employees, so this position can also be performed on a "hybrid" basis of 2/3 days at home and 1/3 days in the office.

Sovereign Executive Search is an equal opportunities employer, and is acting as a recruitment consultancy.
