Role Summary The Director of Innovation owns the organization's technology-led growth agenda
- translating emerging digital, data, and AI capabilities into commercial outcomes. This is not an advisory or purely strategic role: the mandate is to architect, build, and scale the platforms and processes that drive measurable cost, revenue, and efficiency gains, while embedding the operating discipline (agile, human-centered design, structured innovation governance) needed to sustain that impact long-term. Key Duties & Responsibilities 1. Innovation Strategy & Governance
• Set the innovation roadmap and ensure every initiative is tied to a defined business outcome, not pursued for its own sake.
• Build the structural backbone for innovation idea-sourcing frameworks, evaluation criteria, and prioritization processes so opportunities are assessed systematically rather than reactively.
• Institutionalize agile product delivery across business units, replacing ad hoc development with a repeatable, measurable methodology. 2. Technology & Digital Transformation
• Lead full-stack technology restructuring systems, integrations, infrastructure with a direct mandate to reduce operating cost while improving reliability and scalability.
• Direct the build-out of enterprise data platforms that convert first-party data into actionable customer and business intelligence.
• Own the design and deployment of AI-driven solutions where they create a defensible competitive or operational advantage. 3. Product & Platform Leadership
• Run the end-to-end product lifecycle concept to launch with accountability for time-to-market and product quality, not just delivery.
• Lead multi-market platform or payments initiatives, with revenue growth as a tracked and reported outcome.
• Establish external partnership and market-scanning processes to identify and integrate capabilities the organization can't build fast enough internally. 4. People & Stakeholder Leadership




• Build and lead cross-functional teams engineering, data, product, design structured for execution speed, not just headcount.
• Operate as the connective layer between executive strategy and technical delivery, ensuring senior leadership decisions translate into shippable outcomes.
• Represent the organization externally with technology partners and the start-up ecosystem, sourcing capability and talent the internal team doesn't yet have. 5. Performance Accountability
• Define and own the KPIs that prove innovation is working: cost reduction, revenue contribution, time-to-market, adoption, and customer satisfaction.
• Manage budget and resourcing with the same rigor applied to any P&L-owning; function this role is judged on outcomes, not activity. Qualifications & Experience Education
• Master's degree in Entrepreneurship, Innovation Management, Technology, or Business (required).
• Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical discipline (required) the role requires enough technical fluency to challenge and validate engineering decisions directly, not just manage them. Experience
• 15+ years progressing through technology, product, and innovation leadership roles, with a demonstrated arc from technical execution into enterprise-level strategic ownership.
• A track record of leading large-scale, multi-market digital platform or payments initiatives with quantified commercial results not just delivery, but revenue and efficiency impact attached to that delivery.




• Direct experience restructuring enterprise technology operations with documented cost or performance outcomes.
• Background in financial services, telecommunications, or media preferred sectors where digital transformation is tied directly to competitive survival, not optional modernization. Certifications (preferred)
• ITIL, PRINCE2, SAFe Product Owner/Manager, or equivalent delivery-discipline certifications.
• Applied technical certification in data science or AI — evidence of hands-on fluency, not just executive oversight. Core Competencies
• Converts ambiguous innovation mandates into structured, resourced execution plans.
• Reads as credible to both engineering teams and executive leadership — can go deep technically and communicate commercially.
• Demonstrated bias toward measurable outcomes over process for its own sake.
• Comfortable owning budget and being held to P&L-style; accountability for innovation spend. Key Performance Indicators
