Technology Leader – Ireland

About the role

Marsh People and Investments (Marsh P&I), the Health, Wealth and Career business of Marsh, is looking for a Technology Leader for Ireland. As the single accountable technology leader for the country, you will turn business and client priorities into a prioritised technology roadmap and make sure regional, global, local, vendor and squad teams deliver agreed outcomes. The role sits within Regional Technology Leadership and has a dotted-line reporting line to the Country CEO.

Key responsibilities

• Define and maintain a single integrated country technology roadmap covering strategic programmes, regulatory commitments, business demand and operational resilience, and ensure it is funded, sequenced and delivered.
• Act as the primary technology partner to the Country CEO, COO and business leaders, translating business priorities into technology decisions and speaking in clear commercial terms.
• Drive delivery accountability across regional, global, local, vendor and squad teams in a matrixed environment.
• Lead governance and delivery oversight of major Capex programmes, from business case through to benefits realisation, with the authority to challenge or reprioritise when value is at risk.
• Set up escalation routes and resolve cross-team dependencies, acting as the main escalation point for technology issues in the country.
• Maintain service continuity and operational stability while finding opportunities for automation, data and AI improvements.
• Represent Marsh P&I Technology with clients and senior stakeholders, supporting proposals, service reviews and discussions on technology options, risks and investment.

Required profile

• 10+ years in technology, digital or business technology leadership, including at least five years at senior level (CIO, CTO, Technology Director, Head of Technology or equivalent).
• Proven track record of leading complex technology programmes through to successful outcomes, managing scope, risk, dependencies, budget, timelines and benefits realisation.
• Strong Capex governance experience: business case development, investment approval, benefits tracking and programme recovery.
• Commercial credibility to engage at CEO and COO level.
• Background in financial services, professional services or a similarly regulated, client-facing industry preferred.

Required skills

• Broad understanding of technology operations, platforms, architecture, service management, cyber risk and operational resilience.
• Ability to lead through subject-matter experts rather than being the deepest technical specialist.
• Experience in a matrixed model, influencing without full authority and holding delivery partners accountable.

The role is based in Marsh Ireland in Cork or Dublin, with an expectation of working from the office three days per week. Marsh offers professional development, a collaborative and inclusive culture, and career opportunities with visibility at regional and global leadership levels.
