Head of Corporate IT

LionsBot is a Singapore-headquartered robotics company, with cleaning robots deployed in 30+ countries and offices in Singapore, India, China, the US, and the Netherlands. We are looking for a hands-on IT leader to build our global corporate IT function into a genuine enabler for the business: fast, reliable, and secure by design. Your first priority is our day-to-day IT service, making sure every team across our regions has what it needs to work at speed.

Reporting to the Global Head of HR, you will own the security, reliability, and speed of corporate IT globally, working hands-on with a small team and arranging coverage for the other regions as the service requires. This role suits someone who wants to shape how IT works here rather than inherit it. If you are looking to maintain a mature, fully-resourced IT estate, this is not that role.

Key Responsibilities

• Deliver provisioning, access, and support to published service standards, with the automation behind them, so people have what they need from day one and access changes cleanly when roles change or people leave.

• Design and maintain a role-based, least-privilege access model across all regions and departments, ensuring teams get the access they need to work at speed while keeping risk contained by default.

• Operate the IT control environment (access reviews, change management, backup and recovery) inside everyday workflows, evidenced to the standard external audit expects.

• Lead a small team, with regional coverage arranged as the service requires, develop the team, and run the operating routines that keep service predictable.

• Hold external vendors and partners strictly to agreed SLAs, escalating performance gaps early.

• Enforce security and data governance across our regions (EU, US, China), including the practical demands of running a compliant local stack in China under PIPL.

• Partner with business leaders across functions to align technical roadmaps with commercial goals, communicating complex risks in clear business terms and escalating blockers early.

Required Qualifications

• A strong track record running corporate IT services and security hands-on, including real experience with access and security that keeps the business moving at speed.

• Experience leading IT or security hands-on in a growing company, owning the key decisions with a lean team and a limited budget.

• Practical experience setting up operating discipline in a scaling environment, such as SLAs, provisioning automation, and documented procedures.

• Familiarity with data-protection and compliance requirements across regions such as the EU, China, and the US; exposure to SOC 2, ISO 27001, or audit and IPO diligence is a plus.

• Experience in robotics, hardware, or tech manufacturing is a plus, but not required.
