Principal Operational Technology (OT) Manager

The Role

We are seeking a Principal Operational Technology (OT) Manager to serve as a strategic and transformational leader for a large organization's critical infrastructure. This is a pivotal position focused on modernizing and managing the OT environment, bridging the gap between legacy systems and emerging technologies.

The ideal candidate will be a visionary leader with exceptional technical expertise and the ability to influence executive decision-making. You will be responsible for embedding a "cybersecurity-by-design" approach, driving cultural and digital change, and positioning OT as a key enabler of enterprise innovation, resilience, and performance.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead large-scale transformations of legacy OT environments into modern, digitally integrated ecosystems.
  • Develop and implement strategic OT plans that integrate with smart infrastructure, digital twins, AI/ML, and cloud platforms.
  • Champion a security-first, resilient OT architecture and ensure alignment with the organization's overall risk posture.
  • Influence and engage executive leadership to shape enterprise priorities and secure cross-functional alignment across IT, operations, and engineering.
  • Act as a force for innovation and continuous improvement, driving cultural shifts in traditionally risk-averse environments.
  • Develop, mentor, and motivate diverse, cross-disciplinary teams, introducing agile ways of working and new operating models.

About You

The successful candidate will be a seasoned professional with a proven track record of success in transforming complex OT environments.

You will possess:

  • A tertiary qualification in Information Technology, Information Systems, Computer Science, Cybersecurity, or a related discipline.
  • A minimum of six years of experience leading OT within a large enterprise.
  • Professional certifications related to OT, cybersecurity, or architecture (e.g., TOGAF, CISSP) are required.
  • Demonstrated experience in influencing CEOs, Boards, and other executive leaders, with a proven ability to shape organizational strategy.
  • Mastery of complex industrial systems (SCADA, DCS, IIoT) and their application in large-scale, high-risk operations.
  • A track record of delivering complex OT programs on time and within budget.
  • Demonstrated ability to manage and mentor multi-disciplinary teams and drive cultural change.

At Randstad, we are passionate about providing equal employment opportunities and embracing diversity to the benefit of all. We actively encourage applications from any background.
