You will establish the IT function from the ground up — defining the technology estate, selecting and contracting the suppliers who deliver it, managing the budget, and building the team. This is a hands-on leadership role: the department starts small and grows over the next years
The benefits of being part of the team:
Compensation package
- Attractive salary based on your performance
- Monthly food vouchers – €52
- Device voucher – €498
- SIM card with an Unlimited plan
- No cap on bonuses under the “Refer a Friend” program
- Preferential conditions for Vivacom services for you and your loved ones
Work–Life Balance
- 3 extra days if you use up your entire annual paid leave
- 1 day off for your birthday
- Flexible working hours
- Hybrid working model depending on the position
- Additional health insurance for you and your family
- Co-financed sports card
- Discounts at over 100 great places – shops, restaurants, hotels
Not just a job. Growth.
- Personal mentor and access to an interactive e-learning platform
- A real career development plan
What you will do:
- Own IT strategy, the technology roadmap and the architectural direction of the organisation
- Manage the IT budget, both operating expenditure and the investment required to establish the estate
- Define the technology estate and select, contract and govern the suppliers who deliver it
- Negotiate and manage service agreements, including service levels, pricing and transition arrangements
- Build and lead the IT team, covering engineering, operations and service management
- Hold accountability for information security, NIS2 compliance and data protection
- Establish IT governance: service management processes, asset and licence management, change control
- Report IT cost, performance and risk to the CEO
What we are looking for?
- At least 10 years in IT, including 3 leading a function with responsibility for budget, suppliers and people
- Experience within a telecommunications operator. This estate consists of network and operational systems; general corporate IT experience is not sufficient for this role
- Demonstrated experience establishing or separating an IT function — a greenfield build, carve-out or post-merger integration
- Strong commercial capability: contract negotiation, managed-service governance, and the ability to assess and challenge supplier cost models
- Practical experience of information security and compliance frameworks such as NIS2 or ISO 27001
- Willingness to work hands-on during the establishment phase
- Fluent Bulgarian and English
Nice to have:
- Wholesale, open-access or carrier services background
- Experience of regulated environments and associated compliance obligations
- Familiarity with TM Forum frameworks and telecommunications industry standards
