What are the responsibilities and job description for the Head of Technology Enabled Services position at Higher Frog Limited?
Head of Technology Enabled Services (Global)
Executive Leadership | Remote (US) / Hybrid | Travel up to 30%
This is not a traditional delivery leadership role, this is a global ownership mandate for my client — an opportunity to build, scale, and lead a high-impact Technology Enabled Services (TES) organisation at the intersection of enterprise technology, mission-critical delivery, and regulated industries.
You will operate as a true business leader: owning delivery, shaping product direction, driving revenue and margin, and building a world-class organisation — with equity participation aligned to long-term value creation.
If you bring deep experience in SAP ecosystems and enterprise platforms, and thrive in complex, high-stakes environments, this role is built for you.
The Opportunity
As Head of Technology Enabled Services, you will own the end-to-end global delivery engine — integrating proprietary technology platforms with high-value services across Aerospace & Defense, Utilities, Energy, Satellite, and Government sectors.
You will:
- Lead globally distributed teams
- Own P&L performance
- Shape how technology is deployed at scale
- Influence product and platform strategy
- Operate directly with C-suite and government stakeholders
This is a rare chance to build something enduring — not just run what already exists.

Technology & Platform Leadership (SAP Enterprise Ecosystems)
- Own the deployment and operational success of technology platforms within client environments
- Act as the bridge between real-world delivery and product innovation
- Drive enterprise adoption and expansion, with a strong emphasis on SAP-centric environments and integrations
- Ensure seamless interoperability across client systems, compliance frameworks, and operational workflows
Strategic Client Leadership in Regulated Environments
- Serve as the executive relationship owner for critical, high-value accounts
- Operate confidently within highly regulated and controlled environments (A&D, Energy, Government)
- Navigate complex compliance landscapes including export controls, data sovereignty, and security frameworks
- Lead engagements involving sensitive, classified, and mission-critical programs
P&L Ownership & Growth
- Own revenue, margin, and long-term account growth
- Partner with Sales to win, structure, and scale new business
- Identify and unlock organic expansion opportunities
- Develop commercial models and pricing strategies that balance growth with delivery excellence
Build & Lead a World-Class Organisation
- Recruit, develop, and inspire a high-calibre global delivery team
- Create a culture of accountability, innovation, and continuous improvement
- Establish career pathways, capability frameworks, and domain expertise — especially across SAP and regulated sectors
- Act as a multiplier of talent and leadership capability
Governance, Risk & Compliance
- Implement robust governance frameworks and executive reporting
- Proactively manage delivery risk across complex portfolios
- Ensure audit readiness, certifications, and security compliance
- Represent the organisation in executive reviews, audits, and government oversight environments
What You Bring
Core Experience
- 12 years leading technology services, managed services, or professional services organisations
- Proven success running large-scale delivery in regulated industries
- Strong track record of P&L ownership and commercial accountability
- Experience managing complex, multi-year, enterprise engagements
- Expertise leading globally distributed teams
Critical Domain Strength
- Deep experience within SAP ecosystems (implementation, integration, or transformation programs)
- Strong understanding of enterprise platforms and technology-enabled service models
- Ability to connect technology capability to measurable business outcomes
Regulatory & Industry Acumen
- Working knowledge of frameworks such as ITAR, EAR, NERC CIP, FAR/DFARS, or equivalents
- Experience operating in secure, compliance-heavy, or government-aligned environments
