We are looking for a motivated and adaptable Technology Lead to join our growing team. This role is ideal for someone with intermediate experience who is ready to grow into a leadership path while playing a key role in how we govern, deliver, and scale technology across the organization.
As a tech lead, you’ll work horizontally across multiple platforms and teams — helping to shape technology governance, vendor/contract management, technology spend analysis, delivery planning, and cross-team coordination. You’ll be a connector between engineering teams, business stakeholders, and leadership, ensuring that initiatives move forward efficiently and with the right guardrails in place.

Is this role right for you? In this role, you will:

Technology Governance & Standards
• Contribute to defining and maintaining technology standards, architecture guardrails, and best practices.
• Support review processes for new tools, platforms, and integrations.
Vendor & Contract Management
• Assist in evaluating technology vendors, contracts, and SaaS platforms.
• Support procurement, licensing, and vendor relationship management.
• Track contract renewals and support cost optimization efforts.
Technology Spend & Analysis
• Partner with finance and procurement to analyze tech spend and provide insights on optimization opportunities.
• Build dashboards or reports to improve visibility into technology costs and utilization.
Delivery & Planning Support
• Coordinate with engineering, product, and operations teams to align delivery timelines.
• Help track dependencies, risks, and resource allocation across initiatives.
• Support sprint/quarterly planning cycles with data and insights.
Cross-Team Collaboration
• Serve as a bridge between different engineering and business teams.
• Help resolve blockers and ensure alignment across projects.

Do you have the skills that will enable you to succeed in this role? We'd love to work with you if you have:

• 4-6 years of experience in a technology, engineering, or IT-focused role with exposure to multiple tech stacks.
• Strong analytical skills with the ability to interpret financial/operational data and present insights.
• Experience working with technology contracts, vendors, or procurement.
• Familiarity with project delivery frameworks (Agile, Scrum, or hybrid).
• Strong organizational and coordination skills; able to manage dependencies across multiple teams.
• Solid communication skills and ability to work with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Exposure to cloud platforms (GCP, AWS, or Azure).
• Prior experience in technology governance or enterprise architecture functions.
• Hands-on familiarity with collaboration and planning tools (Jira, Confluence, Smartsheet, PowerBI, etc.).
• Experience in financial services or other highly regulated industries.
