About the role- /n We are now looking for a Head of Technology to run that function day to day, as second-in-command to the Group CTO. You will own delivery across all four businesses, the architecture decisions that sit underneath it, and the people who /n build it. /n This is a build-and-own culture rather than a vendor-management one. Most of what we run, we wrote. /n /n What you will own /n  Delivery.

Planning, sequencing and shipping across all four entities. You own the dates. /n  Architecture. Platform and architecture decisions, including the unified platform and our in-house CRM. Deep enough to challenge an architect, senior enough not to need to. /n  People.

Engineering, product, QA and infrastructure leads — their structure, growth and succession. /n  Cost. Technology run-rate against plan, licence rationalisation, and build-versus-buy decisions with the numbers behind them. /n  AI. Extending AI-assisted engineering across the group, with the governance healthcare requires. /n  Security.

Partnering the Group CISO on DPDP compliance and security controls — making it real in the systems. /n  Business partnering. Translating what the businesses want into what can be built, and being straight about what it costs. /n /n What we are looking for /n If you meet most of the points below, we would like to hear from you. We do not expect every box to be ticked. /n  Around 14 to 20 years in technology, including several years leading an engineering or product organisation of 50 or more people. /n  Experience running delivery across more than one product or business at the same time. /n  Has built in-house capability, rather than only managing vendors. /n  Technically credible — able to read an architecture and say what is wrong with it.



/n  Has owned a technology budget and can talk about cost, not only headcount. /n  Has hired, developed and, when necessary, exited people. /n  Comfortable working in a regulated setting.

Healthcare, fintech, insurance or pharma experience is valuable. /n /n Also useful, not required /n  Indian consumer-scale platforms, or D2C alongside enterprise systems. /n  Practical experience embedding AI in engineering, with measured results. /n  Exposure to DPDP, HIPAA, GDPR or ISO 27001 programmes. /n  Having seen a platform rebuild or a large migration through to completion. /n /n Your first twelve months /n Month 1 You have the confidence of the four business heads, and know the estate, the people and the cost base well enough to be challenged on any of it. /n /n Month 2 You own the delivery plan across all entities. The Group CTO is no longer the escalation point for routine decisions. /n /n Month 3 Run-rate on or under plan. DPDP programme on track for May 2027.

At least two of your leads visibly stronger. /n /n Month 6 You can run the function for a quarter without the Group CTO. That is the measure of the role. /n /n How we work /n  Hybrid working, with the flexibility to organise your week around what the work actually needs. /n  Meetings kept within working hours by default. Late calls happen when something is broken, not as a matter of /n routine. /n  Career breaks are not a mark against a candidate.

If you have taken one, we are interested in /n what you did before and what you want to do next. /n  Decisions are made in writing wherever possible, so that being in the room is not a requirement for having influence. /n  You will inherit a team that is used to owning its work, and a leader who expects to be disagreed with. /n /n Location- Chennai / Mumbai / Bengaluru
