Director of Enterprise Technology

About this role

Multiverse is the upskilling platform for AI and Tech adoption. We have partnered with 1,500+ companies to deliver a new kind of learning that's transforming today’s workforce. Our upskilling apprenticeships are designed for people of any age and career stage to build critical AI, data, and tech skills. Our learners have driven $2bn+ ROI for their employers, using the skills they’ve learned to improve productivity and measurable performance. In April 2026, we announced $70 million in strategic funding, led by Schroders Capital, with participation from StepStone Group, Lightspeed Venture Partners and General Catalyst. At an increased valuation of $2.1bn, the round makes us Europe’s first EdTech double unicorn. But we aren’t stopping there. With a strong operational footprint and 800+ employees, we have ambitious plans to continue scaling. We’re building a world where tech skills unlock people’s potential and output. Join Multiverse and power our mission to equip the workforce to win in the AI era. The Opportunity It's an incredible time to join Multiverse as Director of Enterprise Technology, as we scale from Series E toward IPO. Every stage of that journey raises the bar on what "good" IT looks like: more employees, more auditors, more systems, more scrutiny — and zero tolerance for the operation falling over. We're looking for a Director of Enterprise Technology to own IT end-to-end: two connected halves of the function , the day-to-day running of IT services across the business, and the delivery of the systems and platform changes that will carry us through IPO and beyond. This is not a "keep the lights on" role split from a "build the future" role — it's one leader accountable for both, because at this stage of growth they have to move in lockstep. You'll be the most senior IT voice in the business, setting the strategy as well as running the operation. This role needs an AI-native leader . Not someone who bolts AI onto existing ways of working, but someone who sees automation and AI as the engine of the team — the thing that lets a lean function support a scaling business without just adding headcount, and that turns IT from a cost centre into a genuine driver of strategic business outcomes. The Mission: Multiverse is reshaping the future of workforce development. As we scale headcount, geographies, and compliance obligations on the way to IPO, IT has to go from "good enough for a fast-growing startup" to "resilient, auditable, and scalable for a public company" — without ever compromising the experience our 1,000+ employees get day to day. The Environment: You'll sit at the centre of a small, high-trust, fully in-house IT function, with full ownership of the IT budget, tooling strategy, and roadmap. You'll represent IT to the exec team and, increasingly, to auditors and the board as we approach IPO. You'll have the autonomy to decide how your team's time and the IT budget are split across your two remits, and the seniority to make the case for more of either when the business needs it. Our Tech Stack: Google Workspace (we're a Google-first environment); identity via Okta, Entra ID and/or JumpCloud, including Okta Workflows; endpoint security/EDR tooling; FreshService (or similar) for service management; automation and integration via n8n, Zapier, Workato, and scripting (Python, Bash); and security practice aligned to frameworks like ISO 27001. What You'll Own 1. BAU IT Operations (keeping the business running) You'll manage the operational running of IT across Multiverse — ensuring our 1,000+ employees get excellent support, that people join, move within, and leave the business with seamless and secure experiences, and that incidents are handled swiftly and professionally. This is delivered by your in-house team, so you'll own resourcing, workload, and standards directly rather than through a third party. 2. IT Systems Implementation (building what gets us to IPO) You'll lead the planning and delivery of the systems and p
