<p><h4>Description</h4>
<p>The opportunity</p>
<p>A new financial markets infrastructure venture is being established in Oman, backed by prominent institutional investors and operating under an international common law framework. The platform is a greenfield central securities depository being built to go-live in 2027.</p>
<p>We are hiring a Head of Product Technology to own the technology platform end-to-end: the application and the infrastructure on which it runs. This is not background plumbing. The application is the product. The infrastructure is the foundation on which settlement finality, system resilience, latency performance, and operational availability are delivered. The post-holder must understand both layers as one integrated whole and own them as one.</p>
<p>In build, the post-holder is the architect of the platform from a blank sheet: technology reference architecture, infrastructure topology, hosting strategy, network and database design, integration patterns, security architecture, and resilience and disaster-recovery architecture. In run, the same person operates the platform and the team they have designed. This is not a sit-in-your-office role.</p>
<h4>What the role covers</h4>
<ul>
<li>Designing the technology reference architecture from a blank sheet: application architecture, infrastructure topology, database platform, network design, integration patterns, security architecture, and resilience and DR architecture</li>
<li>Owning the application end-to-end: design, configuration, integration, data model, change management, and support</li>
<li>Owning the infrastructure that hosts the platform: compute, storage, network, virtualisation, database, and middleware, whether on-premise, hosted, or cloud</li>
<li>Owning platform resilience: high availability design, backup and recovery architecture, disaster recovery, business continuity, and tested failover</li>
<li>Owning end-to-end platform performance including transaction latency, capacity planning, and headroom strategy</li>
<li>Owning first-line platform security: secure configuration, hardening, identity and access management, vulnerability management, patching, and security incident response</li>
<li>Owning the technical relationship with the build vendor; holding them to account on functional, technical, and operational delivery</li>
<li>Designing the human operating model for the platform: team shape, shift patterns, on-call rotations, incident command structure, runbooks, and third-party support arrangements</li>
<li>Owning all integrations between the platform and external systems: custodians, settlement banks, exchange, SWIFT, Bloomberg, and ISIN infrastructure</li>
<li>Line managing the Application Managers, Database Administrator, and the wider platform engineering team as it builds</li>
</ul>
<h4>Requirements</h4>
<h4>Who we are looking for</h4>
<p>At least 12 years in financial-services platform technology, with substantial time spent owning a mission-critical platform end-to-end across both application and infrastructure layers. Direct, demonstrable experience architecting a mission-critical regulated financial platform from a blank sheet: this is non-negotiable. Direct, demonstrable experience as the technical authority on a CSD, custody platform, post-trade platform, capital markets platform, or core banking system of comparable mission-criticality: also non-negotiable.</p>
<p>Hands-on technical credibility across both application and infrastructure layers: able to read code, query a database, design a network topology, debug an integration, and challenge a vendor's technical decisions with authority. Demonstrated experience holding a major build vendor or system integrator to account on technical delivery. Deep understanding of how a regulated financial-services business works, not just the technology underneath it. Fluent in English.</p>
<p>Experience in financial market infrastructure (CSD, CCP, exchange, or payment system) is an advantage. So is familiarity with CPMI-IOSCO principles and experience designing SWIFT, Bloomberg, and ICSD integrations.</p>
<h4>What this is</h4>
<p>The platform does not exist yet. The architecture has not been designed, the infrastructure has not been built, and the operating model has not been written. The person who takes this role will have done all of it. If you have genuinely architected and owned a mission-critical regulated financial platform from a blank sheet, and you have the hands-on credibility and delivery drive to do it again, this is worth a conversation.</p></p><p></p>

<section><p class="heading jdMain">Job Description</p><p class="heading">Roles & Responsibilities</p><div class="paragraph"><p><strong>POSITION SUMMARY</strong><br>The Group Chief Executive Officer (GCEO) provides strategic leadership, direction, and oversight across ITHCA Group and its portfolio of subsidiaries, investees, and joint ventures. The GCEO s mandate is to develop new industries in the technology and digital economy sector in a financially sustainable manner building a portfolio of long-term, strategically significant investments that advance Oman Vision 2040 and the national digital economy, in alignment with OIA s strategic direction. Reporting directly to the Board of Directors, the GCEO is responsible for defining and executing the Group s vision, investment strategy, and operating plans; ensuring robust governance and accountability; originating and managing strategic partnerships; optimizing portfolio value and returns; and positioning ITHCA as Oman s leading platform for participation in future emerging-technology value chains, in close coordination with the Oman Investment Authority (OIA) and key stakeholders. The role requires a visionary, results-oriented investor-leader who governs through strategy, capital allocation, and oversight, with a focus on creating new industries for Oman in the technology and digital-economy sector empowering subsidiaries and investees with operational autonomy within an agreed framework rather than intervening directly in day-to-day operations and who integrates commercial returns with national impact, innovation, and digital sovereignty. Accountability is clearly delineated: the GCEO is accountable for portfolio performance, strategic direction, and capital allocation, while subsidiary CEOs remain accountable for the operational execution of their respective businesses.</p><p><strong>KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:</strong></p><p><strong>Strategic Leadership and Governance</strong><br>Define and articulate ITHCA s vision, mission, and long-term investment strategy in alignment with national technology and digital-economy priorities, OIA s direction, and the guidance of the Board. Lead the preparation and execution of annual business and operating plans, ensuring effective performance against approved budgets and KPIs. Establish and enforce group-wide governance frameworks, policies, compliance systems, and accountability mechanisms across all subsidiaries, investees, and joint ventures. Secure strategic alignment between the Group, OIA, and the Board on all major investment, divestment, and capital decisions. Ensure transparency and timely reporting to the Board and its committees, including Executive, Audit & Risk, and Investment committees.</p><p><strong>Portfolio Value Creation and Operational Governance</strong><br>Develop and execute portfolio value-creation initiatives to improve operational performance, commercial growth, technology capabilities, and enterprise value across the Group.
