Head of Technology

We are not seeking a deep technical expert – more, an experienced Technology leader, and, over time an aspirant CTO, who views technology as an enabler of both organisational effectiveness and enhancing the customer experience. Ideally you will bring: A tertiary qualification in Business on/or Technology 5+ years’ experience leading the technology function in Wealth Management or Investment Advisory related organisations A deep understanding of core Wealth Management platforms Experience driving strategic roadmaps, including business integration programs Working knowledge of CRM (HubSpot), Reporting and Data & Analytics platforms Experience in process and data flow mapping Project Management experience.

Working predominantly from corporate offices in the heart of the CBD, you’ll enjoy the opportunity to continue your career growth as the business grows both organically and via acquisitions.
