Job description
The SVP, Technology Transformation & Platforms will architect and lead the end-to-end transformation of MGA’s technology organization, shifting the company from a legacy, system-centric IT model to a modern, capability-driven technology engine.
This role owns the build-out of MGA’s “Change the Business” capabilities, including Consumer Technology, Enterprise Technology, and Shared Platforms (data, integrations, architecture, and AI). The mandate is to enable faster execution, unlock new digital and operational capabilities, and materially reduce dependence on legacy systems—without disrupting the current operating environment.
The SVP will establish and enforce a clear separation between Core IT (Run the Business) and Technology (Change the Business) , ensuring that innovation is no longer constrained by legacy systems or outdated operating models.
This is a transformation role with direct accountability for delivering measurable business outcomes—speed, efficiency, scalability, and long-term cost reduction.
Key Responsibilities
Build & Lead the Technology Organization
Stand up and scale MGA’s Technology function across:
Consumer Technology (DTC, eCommerce, digital products)
Enterprise Technology (automation, supply chain, internal systems)
Shared Platforms (data, APIs, architecture, AI)
Define org structure, hiring plan, and operating model for the new Technology function
Recruit and lead high-caliber product, engineering, and platform teams
Establish modern product development and platform engineering practices
Build scalable foundations that accelerate innovation across the company
Define and enforce clear separation between:
Core IT (Run) → ERP, infrastructure, support, security, and operational continuity
Technology (Build) → all new capabilities and systems
Eliminate IT as a bottleneck by shifting ownership of build capabilities into Technology
Establish clear decision rights, governance, and accountability across both organizations
Drive Execution & Delivery
Own delivery of technology initiatives across digital, data, and operational domains
Replace fragmented ownership with end-to-end accountability
Ensure initiatives move from concept to production quickly and predictably, with minimal rework
Build repeatable delivery frameworks (product, platform, engineering standards)
Lead Modernization & Capability Build
Reduce dependency on ERP-driven processes and manual workarounds
Build scalable capabilities across:
Workflow automation and digitization
Data and analytics platforms
API and integration architecture
Define long-term architecture aligned to scalability, flexibility, and cost efficiency
Business Integration & Impact
Partner with Operations, Product, Supply Chain, Finance, and Commercial teams
Align technology roadmap to business priorities (growth, margin, efficiency)
Ensure technology is a driver of business outcomes—not a support function
Transformation Execution & Change Management
Lead phased transformation over a 18–36 month horizon with no operational disruption
Migrate capabilities from IT into the Technology organization in a controlled manner
Manage stakeholder alignment, communication, and organizational change
Proactively address resistance, capability gaps, and execution risks
Platform, Data & AI Foundation
Establish MGA’s data, integration, and architecture strategy
Build scalable foundations for AI, automation, and advanced analytics
Ensure systems are interoperable, reusable, and future-ready
Experience & Qualifications
15+ years in technology leadership across product, engineering, or digital transformation
Proven experience building and scaling modern technology organizations from the ground up
Track record of leading large-scale transformation in legacy environments
Strong experience across:
Digital / consumer platforms (DTC, eCommerce, apps)
Enterprise systems and process automation
Data, analytics, and platform architecture
AI enablement and modern architecture
APIs and integration ecosystems
Demonstrated ability to deliver working solutions—not just define strategy
Comfortable operating across both executive strategy and hands-on execution
Leadership Profile
Builder: Creates organizations, platforms, and capabilities from scratch—without a playbook
Operator: Delivers with speed, discipline, and accountability. Moves fast and finishes.
Transformer: Has moved legacy environments to modern, scalable models—and done it without breaking things.
Integrator: Connects business priorities to technology execution. Speaks both languages fluently.
Pragmatist: Focuses relentlessly on outcomes over theory. Trades perfection for working solutions.
Success Metrics
Run vs. Build operating model is clearly defined, adopted, and sustained across the organization
Measurable increase in speed and reliability of technology delivery across all business domains
Significant reduction in manual processes and reliance on legacy systemsSuccessful build-out of Consumer Tech, Enterprise Tech, and Shared Platforms
Increased adoption of data, automation, and AI across operations
Long-term reduction in technology operating costs through consolidation and platform efficiency
Why This Role Matters
MGA is entering a new era of growth powered by digital commerce, AI, automation, data-driven operations, consumer platforms, and global scalability. Technology will be at the center of that evolution.
This role will shape the future operating model of one of the most dynamic consumer brands in the world. If you want to build something transformational—not simply maintain what already exists—this is that opportunity.
Non-Negotiables
This role is not a management position for existing systems. It is an ownership role for building what comes next.
Owns all “build” capabilities across the organization—without exception
Measured on business impact, not system uptime or ticket throughput
Accountable for delivering working platforms and solutions —not roadmaps
Drive meaningful transformation at scale
