Director Investment Platforms And Digital Enablement

📌 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻:

byteSpark.ai is supporting a regional investment group (GCC) to strengthen how digital platforms, data, and internal systems enable investment execution, investor engagement, and operational scale across the group. This mandate is for a senior operator to own and evolve the group’s portfolio of digital platforms that support investment teams, investors, and internal operations. The director will partner closely with investment, compliance, and leadership teams to digitize critical workflows and decision-making processes in a regulated environment. This role acts as the essential bridge between business objectives and technical execution, driving platform strategy, prioritization, and delivery. The focus is on improving data infrastructure and reporting to enhance decision-making throughout the investment lifecycle. Success requires translating complex product and data insights into scalable execution, ensuring robust governance and long-term institutional value. This is not an IT leadership role but a business-led platform ownership mandate focused on cross-functional outcomes.
