Director of Information Technology

Chief Development Lead / IT Director

Our financial industry client is seeking an accomplished Chief Development Lead / IT Director to oversee and guide a team of 5–6 developers while driving technical strategy, architectural direction, and delivery execution. This is a highly influential leadership role that requires strong engineering expertise across multiple stacks, exceptional communication skills, and the ability to lead development teams in a complex, enterprise‑scale environment.

This is not a hands‑on coding role, but a leadership and architectural oversight position requiring deep technical understanding.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead and mentor a development team (5–6 developers), providing engineering direction and technical standards.
• Define and review high‑level architecture, sequence diagrams, and technical design artifacts.
• Ensure development aligns with enterprise architectural decisions; escalate exceptions when necessary.
• Guide Agile teams on practices for coding standards, CI / CD, automation, and DevOps strategy.
• Remove technical blockers, identify risks, and ensure timely delivery of engineering outcomes.
• Drive infrastructure, environment strategy, deployment patterns, and roadmap alignment.
• Bring an MVP and scalable mindset to all solutions and technical decisions.
• Continuously evaluate new technologies, patterns, and tools to improve delivery and system quality.
