A global asset management organisation is entering a significant phase of technology modernisation and is seeking a senior engineering leader to shape and deliver this transformation.

Reporting to the CTO, this role will unify data and application engineering into a cohesive function, modernise legacy on-prem environments, and establish a scalable cloud-based architecture across global teams.

This is a strategic leadership position with genuine architectural influence and executive visibility.

The Opportunity

• Lead enterprise engineering transformation across data and application platforms;

• Migrate legacy on-prem systems into a modern Azure-based environment;

• Establish scalable, cloud-native data capabilities;

• Align fragmented global teams across Australia and the UK;

• Partner closely with investment stakeholders in a complex, regulated environment;

• Drive engineering standards, governance and delivery discipline; and

• Balance business-as-usual stability with structured modernisation.

What We’re Looking For

• Senior engineering leadership experience in regulated financial services;

• Proven track record leading enterprise cloud migration and platform uplift;

• Strong understanding of modern data and application architecture;

• Experience working closely with business and investment stakeholders;

• Ability to reshape and uplift distributed engineering teams; and

• Strategic thinker with the credibility to operate at executive level.

Why This Role

• Executive visibility and mandate ownership;

• Genuine architectural influence at enterprise level;

• Global scope with investment-critical data systems; and

• Long-term transformation program (12–24 months + runway).

This is not a greenfield build. It is a phased transformation requiring clarity of vision, strong execution, and the ability to lead change in a global organisation.

Executive-level remuneration aligned to scope and impact.
