The mandate

As Interim Head of Technology & Data, you will take ownership of the organisation’s technology strategy, core administration platforms, digital interfaces and data architecture. You’ll provide senior leadership across platform engineering, data, digital, development, and project delivery teams, while acting as the executive escalation point for technology risk, resilience and performance.

You’ll balance strategic modernisation with day‑to‑day operational stability, ensuring systems remain secure, compliant, scalable and fully aligned with client expectations.

Proven ability to deliver technology change within a live operational setting.
Deep knowledge of pensions administration systems, complex DB benefits, or high‑volume transactional platforms.
Strong understanding of information security, data protection, operational resilience and regulatory assurance.
A collaborative, stakeholder‑driven leadership style.

A substantial advantage:

Experience owning or overseeing a shared pensions administration platform supporting multiple schemes with varied benefit structures.

If you are a senior technology leader with deep pensions platform insight and proven interim impact, we’d welcome a conversation.
