About the Role:

Finatal is looking for an experienced Interim IT Director with a background in Private Equity and a track record of working on IT transformations during carve-outs, divestments, or similar corporate restructuring initiatives. This role is critical to ensuring the smooth separation and/or integration of IT systems, processes, and teams as part of a high-profile divestment.

A key component of this engagement will involve the successful delivery of the Transition Services Agreement (TSA) , which will form the foundation for ongoing IT support during the transition phase. The role requires strong leadership and a deep understanding of how to structure and deliver on TSA requirements while overseeing the broader IT separation and integration process.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Lead the IT strategy, delivery, and operational support during a corporate carve-out or divestment.
  • Own the TSA execution by managing and delivering IT services, infrastructure, and support as defined in the Transition Services Agreement.
  • Oversee the separation or migration of IT systems, applications, data, and infrastructure , ensuring minimal disruption and smooth transitions for the business.
  • Collaborate with private equity sponsors , senior leadership, and external advisors to define IT priorities, goals, and timelines for the carve-out/divestment.
  • Ensure all TSA deliverables are met in a timely and efficient manner, coordinating between internal IT teams, third-party vendors, and other stakeholders.
  • Address IT risks, including security, compliance, and data privacy, particularly as they relate to the carve-out process and TSA obligations.
  • Provide strategic guidance on IT infrastructure and architecture to support the long-term goals of the new standalone entity or acquired business.
  • Lead IT team coordination and ensure that cross-functional teams (finance, legal, operations) are aligned and executing on the divestment strategy.
  • Manage and resolve any issues that arise during the TSA period, ensuring that operational and business continuity is maintained.

Ideal Candidate:

  • IT Leadership experience: At least 5-10 years of IT leadership experience, with at least 3-5 years working in private equity-backed environments, specifically during corporate carve-outs, divestments, or similar transitions.
  • Private Equity exposure: Strong understanding of private equity processes and goals, with experience working alongside PE firms, investors, and management teams on IT-driven transformations.
  • TSA expertise: Proven experience managing and delivering on Transition Services Agreements (TSA) , particularly in the context of IT systems and infrastructure.
  • Transformation experience: Hands-on involvement in IT separation and integration projects, with a focus on maintaining continuity while migrating or separating IT services and platforms.
  • Technical expertise: Familiarity with enterprise IT systems, cloud platforms, data management, ERP solutions, and the specific challenges related to IT during corporate restructurings.
  • Strong leadership skills: Excellent communication, problem-solving, and decision-making capabilities, with a demonstrated ability to lead cross-functional teams and manage complex stakeholder relationships.
  • Adaptability and results orientation: Comfortable working in a fast-paced, high-pressure environment, with the ability to adapt to changing priorities and meet tight deadlines.
