Job description
Are you a senior technology operations leader who doesn't just run infrastructure — you rethink it? Weaver Fintech is looking for a Head of Technology Operations to own and evolve the infrastructure, security, and operational backbone of a fast-growing fintech, and to bring an AI-forward, boundary-pushing mindset to everything you build.
What you'll own
- The stability and resilience of our on-premises server and network infrastructure
- Security operations — access management, endpoint security, threat response, and compliance
- The IT Service Desk and End User Computing function — including SLAs, standards, and team performance
- IT governance, vendor management, and audit relationships
- Disaster recovery capability and infrastructure incident management
- A growing TechOps team (SecOps Manager, Network/Server engineer, EUC technicians)
- The AI and automation agenda within TechOps — identifying and implementing smarter ways to operate
What we're looking for
- 8–12 years in technology operations or IT infrastructure, with 3–5 years leading teams
- Strong on-premises infrastructure expertise — servers, networking, security
- An AI-forward mindset — you actively use AI tools and can show us how
- An innovator who challenges convention and brings ideas, not just answers
- A governance mindset: you design frameworks, write policy, and stay audit-ready
- Experience in a regulated or financial services environment (advantageous)
- ITIL certified; security certifications (CISSP, CISM, CompTIA Security+) preferred
Why Weaver Fintech
- Real ownership — this role shapes the TechOps function, not just maintains it
- A technology leadership team invested in AI adoption, engineering excellence, and pushing boundaries
- A culture of learning and knowledge sharing (The Relay — our bi-weekly engineering knowledge share)
- A fast-moving fintech environment where technology is a strategic differentiator
- The space to experiment, innovate, and make your mark
