The Role

This executive position is the principal architect of our enterprise digital future. Sitting at the nexus of corporate strategy and technological innovation, you will translate complex commercial objectives into a cohesive, forward-looking digital roadmap. You will not merely support business operations; you will act as a core catalyst for growth, defining how data, AI, and emerging technologies create a sustained competitive advantage while harmonizing local market execution with global enterprise mandates.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Shape the Commercial Future: Fully own and blueprint the overarching digital agenda for a market-leading global organization, directly influencing how we go to market and operate.
• True Executive Influence: Serve as a trusted advisor and strategic partner to the C-suite and regional/global headquarters, co-creating business strategies, not just taking tech orders.
• Pioneer Innovation at Scale: Champion the enterprise-wide integration of AI, advanced analytics, and automation to disrupt traditional operating models and create new value streams.
• Revenue-Enabling Impact: Lead the paradigm shift of IT from a traditional cost-center to a pivotal commercial engine with a clear, measurable impact on the top and bottom lines.

What You’ll Do

• Strategic Orchestration: Architect and steward a multi-year IT and Digital strategy that aggressively drives market share, operational efficiency, and a frictionless customer/consumer experience.
• Executive Advisor-ship: Act as the definitive voice on digital disruption and technology trends, guiding the Management Board on strategic investments, capital allocation, and risk mitigation.
• Value-Driven Transformation: Spearhead enterprise data monetization and large-scale transformation initiatives, ensuring rigorous frameworks for value realization and commercial ROI.
• Resilience & Risk Management: Fortify the enterprise against evolving cyber threats while engineering robust governance frameworks that balance rapid innovation with strict compliance and operational continuity.
• Capability & Culture Building: Cultivate an agile, high-performance tech organization. Mentor next-generation leaders and champion digital fluency across all non-technical business units.

What We’re Looking For

• Executive Tenure: 15+ years of progressive leadership in IT and Digital spheres, with a definitive track record in heavily business-interfacing executive roles (CIO, CDO, or equivalent).
• Transformation Architect: Proven success in blueprinting and executing complex, end-to-end digital transformations that have tangibly improved commercial performance and agility.
• Global Matrix Savvy: Deep experience navigating, negotiating, and influencing within complex multinational environments. Adept at bridging the gap between global strategic frameworks and localized market realities.
• Commercial Acumen & Influence: Exceptional strategic thinking with the ability to translate technical complexities into compelling business value. High emotional intelligence to align disparate stakeholder groups and drive cross-functional consensus.
