Hello,
I have four full-time Director level roles that I am trying to fill. If you happen to know of anyone that may be a fit for any of them, please either have them reach out to me or send me there contact information.
The group and job descriptions are as follows:
My contact was hired by the International CIO to design and build an internal global shared service organization to manage a portfolio of 20,000 applications used outside of IT and a user-base of 50,000 employees. He’s working with all group CEOs and COOs to assess their current collection of user-defined technologies (UDTs) and build dedicated support teams for ongoing maintenance & updates. He’s also responsible for building a global center of excellence (CoE) to support 1400+ business developers with user defined technologies. He’s currently also conducting a review of costs and approach to migrate 3500 Lotus notes domino applications to Microsoft SharePoint-based solutions. Also, he’s responsible for overseeing planning for Microsoft Office 2010 and Microsoft Windows 7 Upgrade including impact and remediation of existing applications. He’s also evaluating strategies to consolidate hundreds of servers, SQL Server Databases, and redundant applications worldwide. The technologies being used in his group are as follows: Microsoft C/C#/VB, .NET, Microsoft SQL Server, SharePoint/InfoPath, MS Excel, MS Access.
He needs 4 Directors to work alongside of him. Minimal travel is expected (except for traveling to other offices in New York / New Jersey area). Financial Services Background is a must have. Here are the 4 roles:
1. Director of Technology and Enterprise Architecture: The Senior Technology Manager will be expected to know intimately C# .NET, SharePoint, and Excel/Access. They are not expected to code but they will be overseeing Application Architecture Activities and Proof-of-Concepts with the Vendors in these areas. SharePoint architectural knowledge & C#.NET Application Architecture knowledge required. They will also own the technology roadmap for these technologies and the integration strategies with the IT Architecture groups. They have to be comfortable in working with many different lines of business simotaneously.
2. Director of Programs and Projects: Manager of Program Management. Must have experience running a large Program Management Office with dozens of concurrent projects simultaneously, delivering multiple large complex technology projects simultaneously. Experience managing technology teams/groups both on-shore and off-shore is a nice to have. Manage the "Ownership" aspects of facing off with business executives and pushing back on scope changes or wish-list requirements is essential.
3. Director of Strategy & Analysis: Sales role. This person will be setting meetings with several different business groups to essentially spread the word about who this group is and what they do. They will be responsible for writing proposals and business plans for the groups they meet with and build a book of billable business internally within the organization by selling various groups on using their services. The right person will be coming from a high level consulting background in their past (ie Deloitte, Accenture etc at the Director, MD or partner level that was responsible for writing in-depth proposals and selling technology services but they don’t need to be coming right out of one of these firms currently, he just wants this in their background)
4. Director - Finance, Communications, and Governance: This person will be responsible for Program Governance for UDT (User Defined Technologies). This position is actually pending approval and I’m still waiting for confirmation and more detail on it.
Thanks
