Director of Digital & IT Transformation
Location: Singapore
Executive Leadership Opportunity | Global Maritime Leader
Faststream Recruitment is partnering with a leading name in the global maritime industry that is embarking on an ambitious transformation journey. To shape this next phase, the business is seeking an accomplished Director of Digital & IT Transformation — a strategic, hands-on leader ready to define and deliver a digital roadmap that strengthens operational capability and accelerates growth.
This is not a maintenance role — it’s a mandate to rethink, rebuild, and revolutionise how the business leverages technology. Backed by senior sponsorship, clear priorities, and meaningful investment, you will modernise systems, enhance resilience, and position the organisation for sustained competitive advantage.
Reporting directly to the CEO, this high-impact role offers the scope to own the technology vision, lead enterprise-wide change, and build digital capabilities that create measurable value across a global network.
The Opportunity
- Shape and deliver a pragmatic, business-led digital transformation strategy aligned with commercial and operational priorities.
- Modernise core systems, cybersecurity, and digital infrastructure to support scalable, global operations.
- Introduce targeted technology solutions that unlock efficiency, agility, and new opportunities for value creation.
- Operate as a trusted partner to the leadership team, ensuring technology is tightly integrated with business strategy.
- Build and lead a capable, forward-thinking IT function focused on execution and impact.
Who We’re Looking For
- A senior digital and IT leader with a track record of delivering meaningful transformation within complex, international businesses.
- Strategic and execution-minded — able to define vision and make smart choices on priorities and investment.
- Deep expertise across IT strategy, enterprise systems, cybersecurity, and emerging technologies.
- A strong influencer and collaborator, comfortable working closely with C-suite stakeholders.
- Experience within operationally complex industries such as maritime, logistics, energy or transportation will be an advantage.
Why This Role
- High impact: Shape the organisation’s digital future with clear priorities and tangible outcomes.
- Strategic influence: Work in close partnership with senior leadership to deliver technology that enables business growth.
- Global scope: Drive transformation that spans markets and functions.
- Right-sized investment: Lead initiatives that are well-defined, well-supported, and focused on creating real value.
This is a career-defining opportunity for a senior technology leader who thrives on driving practical, high-impact transformation.
