Job Description

Tech Lead - Groups & Events (G&E)

Role Purpose

The Tech Lead - Groups & Events plays a senior technical leadership role within IHG's Groups & Events ecosystem, supporting the design, integration, and stability of complex, enterprise-scale technology solutions. This role partners closely with Product Managers, Business Analysts, and external vendors to translate business outcomes into sound technical direction across multiple interconnected systems.

This is a business-problem-driven technical role centered on shaping solution direction, guiding cross-system design, and ensuring reliable delivery within a highly integrated, vendor-supported environment that underpins group sales, booking, and hotel fulfillment workflows.

Day-to-Day Responsibilities
  • Act as the primary technical partner for Groups & Events initiatives, working alongside Product Managers and Business Analysts to break down complex business problems into clear, executable technical direction
  • Translate business requirements related to group booking, housing, rooming lists, and hotel fulfillment into cohesive technical solutions across integrated platforms
  • Provide technical leadership across vendor-led and internal systems, ensuring alignment with enterprise architecture, security, and integration standards
  • Guide system integration efforts across multiple technologies, validating design decisions for scalability, reliability, and long-term maintainability
  • Define and support system testing strategies (including reliability, scalability, and maintainability), review outcomes, and ensure remediation actions are completed
  • Monitor live environments and proactively identify, analyze, and resolve system issues in a structured and timely manner
  • Support delivery planning by contributing to scope definition, dependency mapping, risk identification, and mitigation strategies
  • Define, track, and report technical performance KPIs to support service level improvements and continuous optimization
  • Serve as a technical advisor to cross-functional stakeholders, clearly explaining trade-offs, risks, and recommendations to both technical and non-technical audiences
What You Will Bring
  • Proven experience providing technical leadership in complex, enterprise-scale environments with multiple integrated systems
  • Strong ability to synthesize business needs and guide solution design through influence rather than direct authority
  • Experience partnering closely with Product Managers and Business Analysts to shape and deliver integrated solutions
  • Sound technical judgment and architectural thinking, with a strong focus on system stability, performance, and scalability
  • Comfort operating in ambiguity and evolving problem spaces, particularly in vendor-supported delivery models
  • Clear, confident communication skills with the ability to translate technical concepts for business stakeholders
  • Ownership mindset for end-to-end solution health, from design through production support and continuous improvement
Technical Requirements
  • Solid experience in software development and system integration environments, with the ability to assess design, integration patterns, testing approaches, and operational impacts
  • Strong understanding of enterprise application architecture, integration patterns, and system lifecycle management
  • Experience supporting or leading systems that rely on multiple platforms, services, and third-party vendors
  • Ability to design and monitor technical KPIs related to performance, reliability, and service levels
  • Experience guiding systems through full lifecycle phases: design, delivery, testing, deployment, stabilization, and optimization
  • Depth of technical knowledge sufficient to challenge assumptions, identify risks, and guide teams at the design and delivery level
Nice to Have
  • Experience in hospitality, travel, or other high-transaction, customer-facing enterprise platforms
  • Exposure to global sales, booking, or event management ecosystems
  • Prior experience supporting large-scale, vendor-led technical solutions
