Global Chief Information Officer 

London-based 

 

I’m partnering with a global law firm to appoint a CIO, a senior technology leader with a broad remit who will help shape the firm’s future technology direction.

 

With a strong technology function already in place, the focus is on what comes next. The firm wants someone who can challenge existing thinking, bring new ideas to the table and develop a clear strategy for how Data, AI and emerging technology can drive meaningful change across the business.

 

A major part of the brief will be turning that thinking into a practical and deliverable Data & AI strategy, while maintaining a strong focus on cybersecurity, information security and risk.

 

Given the international nature of the firm, proven global experience is essential. We’re looking for someone with previous legal or partnership experience, ideally, who has led across multiple geographies, can bring experienced teams, and is credible operating with senior stakeholders at Managing Partner, ExCo, and partnership level.

 

A great opportunity for a technology leader who combines strategic vision with delivery, understands the possibilities presented by AI, and can ensure innovation moves forward without compromising security and risk.

 

Hybrid - c.3 days per week
