Job details

This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Chief Technology Officer / VP of Technology based in Canada. As the executive technology leader for a global energy advisory firm of roughly 300 professionals across Europe and North America, you will hold complete accountability for the entire technical ecosystem. This pivotal role balances high-level commercial impact with a practical, hands-on approach, bridging internal corporate systems with sophisticated client-facing digital products. You will lead cross-border enterprise IT, oversee a distributed international team, direct managed services, and orchestrate modern AI and automation strategies to scale operations efficiently. Operating in an agile, business-first environment without heavy administrative friction, your technical vision and execution will directly shape company growth, vendor partnerships, and core client capabilities across multiple regions. \n Accountabilities: Enterprise IT and operations across multiple countries, including network infrastructure, cybersecurity, endpoint management, global service desk, and identity and access management. Internal business systems and reporting architecture, maintaining and optimizing Microsoft Dynamics 365 CRM, Finance & Operations, and associated data workflows. Portfolio management of client-facing platforms in two regions, defining product roadmaps, ensuring system connectivity, and driving continuous platform maintenance. AI and automation integration, collaborating directly with business units to optimize processes and deploy modern tools that drive growth without proportional headcount expansion. Strategic technology cost management, managing global vendor relationships, licensing negotiations, and outsourced managed-service arrangements. Leadership and mentorship of a distributed, multi-country technology team, fostering a high-performance culture across time zones. Requirements: Proven track record leading technology strategy and execution within a mid-sized organization, encompassing both internal business systems and client-facing digital products. Deep experience in the Microsoft technology ecosystem, including Azure, Dynamics 365, Power Platform, and Microsoft 365 environments. Hands-on operational leadership style, actively engaging with and building upon modern tools rather than solely delegating or overseeing high-level governance. Strong commercial acumen with demonstrable success in vendor negotiations, licensing optimization, and multi-country technology budget management. High adaptability and cross-cultural communication skills required to lead distributed teams and support operations across various time zones. Pragmatic, business-first mindset suited for a lean, efficient environment that values speed and outcomes over heavy process or top-down IT governance. Familiarity with modern data platform architecture (Azure Data Lake, Databricks, Microsoft Fabric, Power BI), experience navigating corporate ownership transitions, or prior energy sector exposure is highly advantageous. Benefits: Competitive executive salary package reflecting the impact and scale of the role. Fully remote work model offering geographic and schedule flexibility. Comprehensive healthcare and medical coverage plan. Global business exposure and opportunities for professional leadership growth in a scaling, international energy advisory environment. Direct access to executive decision-makers and key business stakeholders in a streamlined, low-bureaucracy organizational culture. \n How Jobgether works: We use an AI-powered matching process to ensure your application is reviewed quickly, objectively, and fairly against the role's core requirements.
