Role Overview Weekday-1 seeks a Director of Information Technology & Systems to join their Mumbai office. This senior leader will take charge of advancing the company’s information security and system integration, with a focus on raising data protection and trust to the highest standards. Candidates should bring at least 10 years of relevant experience.
