Group Technology Transformation Lead
Furless Permanent•Dubai, AE
3+ Years Exp
Posted: 18/8/2026
• Department: Group Management
• Reports To: Chief Executive Officer
• Location: UAE / Regional
• Employment Type: Full-Time
• Job Level: Senior Management
• Scope: Group-wide – UAE, KSA and future international markets
Role Summary:
The Group Technology Transformation Lead is ultimately responsible for connecting business strategy, commercial requirements, operations and technology.
The Group is therefore seeking more than an ERP project manager or IT specialist. The successful candidate must be capable of understanding the business in depth, advising senior management on technology decisions, challenging vendors and implementation partners, and personally leading a complex multi-year transformation from strategy through successful implementation and adoption.
1. Role Purpose
The Group Technology Transformation Lead is responsible for defining, leading and delivering the Group's technology strategy and transformation roadmap across its businesses and international operations.
The role combines technology leadership, business partnership and transformation delivery. The successful candidate will work closely with the CEO and management team to understand the Group's commercial objectives, operational requirements and growth plans, and translate these into scalable technology solutions.
In the short term, the role will take ownership of the current technology landscape, systems, vendors, costs, integrations and immediate business requirements, while establishing stronger technology governance and supporting current technology decisions.
In the long term, the role will design and lead a long term Group-wide technology transformation covering ERP, CRM, contact centre, HR, booking/POS, inventory, e-commerce, data, integrations, automation and reporting.
This is not a traditional IT support or general project-management position. The role requires a senior, hands-on technology transformation professional with recent experience delivering complex enterprise systems implementations and the commercial and operational understanding required to make effective technology decisions for the business.
2. Key Responsibilities

• Evaluate technology decisions based on business value, cost, ROI, risk and scalability.
• Provide clear recommendations to management, including alternatives, costs, risks and implementation implications.
