Headquartered in Bonn, ASI oversees the conformity assessment bodies (CABs) that audit and certify against standards such as FSC, MSC, ASC and RSPO, helping to ensure that certification is credible and consistent. ASI’s team of more than 100 staff and contracted experts works in around 50 countries, across sectors including agriculture, apparel, energy, mining, palm oil, forestry, fisheries and aquaculture. ASI works with close to 85 CABs, and its oversight covers more than 80,000 certificates worldwide. ASI’s services include oversight, tailored oversight, integrity services and investigations, and advisory and training. ASI is developing a more risk-based, data-led approach to assurance, focusing its attention where integrity risks are greatest. ## About the role The Head of Technology & Data is ASI's senior technology leader, responsible for developing and delivering a technology and data strategy that actively drives how the organisation works rather than simply supporting it. The role combines technical grounding with change leadership: reliable and secure systems, better-connected processes, and data that is well-governed and used. The Head of Technology & Data enables ASI to grow without a proportional increase in headcount, and is a key partner to the Deputy Managing Director/Chief Operations Director and the leadership team. This is not a role for someone looking to maintain the status quo. It suits someone who finds genuine satisfaction in improving the way an organisation operates, and who has the patience and interpersonal skill to bring people along. What success looks like - End of year one: A clear, credible, shared technology and data roadmap aligned with the 2030 strategy, trusted by the internal team and key stakeholders. - End of year two: Assessment preparation, reporting, and client communication involve meaningfully less manual effort. Data is used routinely in operational decisions, and the technology function is seen as a contributor to ASI’s mission, not a cost centre. - Through to 2030: A material improvement in revenue per staff member, supported in part by this function. ASI has grown without a proportional increase in headcount, and staff feel technology has made their professional lives better, not more precarious. ## Key dimensions of the role Duties and responsibilities Technology & Data Strategy - Develop and own ASI’s technology and data roadmap: a practical, sequenced plan that connects technology investment to organisational priorities and the 2030 strategy. - Translate strategic ambitions into concrete technology decisions, and explain them clearly to colleagues who are not technically trained. - Use the roadmap as a working tool to guide prioritisation and hold honest conversations about what is and is not feasible. Process Improvement & Digital Enablement - Work closely with operational and program teams around the world to identify where technology can reduce manual effort, improve quality, and increase capacity. - Lead the identification and implementation of automation, workflow improvement, and digital tools that let ASI grow without a proportional increase in headcount. - Connect and improve the Assurance Management System (AMS) and the tools around it, so assessment preparation, reporting, and client communication involve less manual effort. - Build on how colleagues currently work, developing solutions with them rather than imposing external approaches. IT Operations & Infrastructure - Ensure ASI’s infrastructure, systems, networks, cloud platforms, security, and data are reliable, secure, and fit for purpose. - Maintain high standards of service delivery for ASI Group so the organisation around the globe can operate without interruption. - Treat operations as the foundation, not the measure of success: the measure is what you build on top of it. Data Management & Analytics - Lead ASI’s data function, ensuring data is well-governed, accessible, and used. - Work with operational teams to develop reporting, dashboards, and analytical capabilities that support better decisions on certification bodies, assessment processes, and scheme performance. - Explore the longer-term value of ASI’s data asset. Cybersecurity & Compliance - Ensure ASI’s systems and data are protected, with no significant unaddressed security risks. - Ensure the organisation meets its obligations on data protection and information security. Vendor & Partner Management - Manage ASI’s relationships with external technology and data service providers, holding them to high standards of service delivery. ## Skills and experience - Around 10+ years of experience in technology, data or digital transformation, ideally within professional services, consulting or similarly process-intensive organisations. - Experience leading and developing international, multicultural teams, building effective relationships across functions and geographies and bringing people together around a shared vision. - Proven track record of delivering process improvement and digital change in organisations of comparable complexity. Experience in assurance, audit, certification or standards-based environments is advantageous. - Understands the relationship between technology, systems and processes, with the ability to assess existing workflows and identify opportunities for improvement. - Proactive in shaping requirements, translating business challenges into practical options and recommendations, even where needs are not yet clearly defined. - Strong influencing and stakeholder management skills, able to build trust and bring sceptical colleagues along through change. - Comfortable with ambiguity and incomplete information, demonstrating sound judgement, decisiveness and adaptability. - Able to communicate technical concepts and investment priorities clearly, linking IT and Data initiatives to wider organisational objectives and engaging credibly with senior leadership. - Motivated by a role with genuine breadth and strategic influence, able to build and develop the IT and Data functions within a relatively small organisation and with limited resources. Appreciates a measured pace of change and the opportunity to make a lasting contribution. - Fluent in English and comfortable working in a multicultural, internationally distributed environment. German is advantageous, particularly for the Bonn-based environment. *Don’t meet every single requirement?
