Chief Technology Officer opportunity with an established SaaS business. This is a full-time, hybrid position based in the UK with one day a week in London.
Our client is an innovative SaaS company with an established and successful product. They are now looking for a technology leader to join them in owning the function and driving the next stage of their development to a medium-sized business.
You will be a hands-on leader who can lead the evolution of their product suite, oversee the technology strategy, and work directly with clients. You have commercial experience and will be able to work with a generous budget to achieve your goals. You will be responsible for all technology systems and platforms, ensuring the company’s technology operations and strategies align with its business goals.
This role will suit a dynamic technology leader (either currently in a CTO position or on the path to becoming one) looking to make their mark in a business. You are someone who stays up to date with the latest technology and can face big questions such as whether to evolve an existing product or rebuild it into something more substantial. Previous experience in tackling legacy systems is highly desirable.
