About the Role

The Company is seeking a Chief Technology Officer (CTO) to join their executive leadership team. The CTO will be responsible for establishing and executing the technical vision of the company, leading engineering efforts, and driving its strategic direction, development, and growth. This role requires deep engagement with the product team to ensure the delivery of high-quality products that meet specifications, on time, and within budget. The successful candidate will also be tasked with managing and leading global, remote engineering and architectural teams, evolving software development methodologies, and completing the integration of technology platforms across the product ecosystem. As a key member of the leadership team, the CTO will act as a change agent, particularly in the areas of business, operational, and technology strategy, and will be expected to engage with customers, prospects, and partners on technical platforms and infrastructure.

Applicants for the CTO position should have a proven track record as a technology leader, with experience in a similar role within a robust, global SaaS organization. The ideal candidate will have a background in B2B, B2C, or B2B2C SaaS, and a passion for creating high-performing, execution-centric team cultures. A strong technical background in software development, project management, and product development is essential, as is the ability to lead teams of 50 or more, including offshore, contract resources, and employees. The role demands a leader with a combination of high intelligence, analytical strength, and conceptual ability, along with the decisiveness to seek input and build consensus. Excellent communication skills, strategic instincts, and a sense of ownership for the company's success are also key qualifications. A Bachelor's degree in a related field is required, with an advanced degree being a plus.
