Head of Technology - PE-Backed B2B Data & Intelligence Business Remote-first (occasional London) 130,000 + 20% bonus Maxwell Bond has been exclusively retained to find a Head of Technology for a well-established B2B data, insights and subscription intelligence business. Private equity-backed and growing strongly internationally, it's investing seriously in people, product and technology for its next phase of growth. This is not a back-office IT Director role, and it's not one for a pure architect either. Reporting to a genuinely impressive Chief Product Officer, you'll be the commercial technology leader who makes the whole technology estate work harder: owning the core business platforms (enterprise CRM, finance/ERP, Azure/M365), holding a premier MSP and external development partners to account, and treating technology spend as a value-creation lever rather than a cost centre. The wider business has a commercially savvy, stable team with limited attrition, and technology has deliberately been run lean, led through third parties, offshore teams and vendors, which is exactly why this hire matters. As the Head of Technology you'll own: The technology infrastructure roadmap that lets the business launch new products, campaigns and commercial models at pace, including bringing AI into a genuinely data-rich environment that's ready to move on it Vendor and MSP governance: SLAs, uptime, licensing and contract value, someone who knows what good looks like and isn't shy about demanding it Security, compliance and resilience end to end: GDPR, SOC2, Cyber Essentials+ and disaster recovery across customer and financial data Cost and TCO optimisation: rationalising the application stack, auditing SaaS licensing, and freeing up budget to reinvest in growth The successful Head of Technology - what we're looking for: A technology leader who's operated in a regulated, data-driven environment, financial services, fintech, insurance or B2B information services Proven third-party and vendor management at scale; you've run an outsourced-heavy estate (ideally including Salesforce and Azure) and got real value from it Commercial instincts: comfortable in front of a PE board, energised by a business that's investing to grow, and sharp on where money is well spent versus wasted The pragmatism to keep the lights on flawlessly while building for what comes next Desirable: you've introduced AI into an established data-led business and worked hand in hand with product leadership to do it The business is remote-leaning for this role, but you'll need to be within sensible reach of London for occasional time in the office to meet the team and build relationships - this genuinely opens the search to candidates nationally. If this sounds like you, apply now or contact Steven Jagger or Megan Blackett for a confidential conversation.
