Requirements
Must:
We are seeking a pragmatic and commercially astute Chief Technology Officer (CTO) with proven experience in leading digital transformation or modernization in an SME or mid-market environment. You should possess a strong technical understanding of software, data, and infrastructure, allowing you to translate business goals into scalable solutions. A background in data-enabled or service-led businesses is essential, along with a track record of productizing data or building technology platforms that generate new revenue streams. You should have experience in growing and structuring multi-disciplinary tech teams, a collaborative, customer-first mindset, and excellent communication and stakeholder management skills. Ideally, you will have exposure to private equity or investor-backed environments, having led through growth or exit cycles.
Responsibilities
In this role, you will lead a company-wide technology transformation and integration program. You will define the digital strategy and architecture for the next 3-5 years while building and scaling a high-performing technology team. You will oversee the delivery of both internal and customer-facing software products, including a new SaaS platform that leverages existing data assets. As part of your responsibilities, you will drive a data-first culture to enable the business to commercialize insight and analytics. You will collaborate closely with the CEO and Board to shape strategy, influence investment decisions, and deliver measurable business value. Additionally, you will partner with non-technical stakeholders to ensure every initiative has clear commercial ROI and customer benefits.
Description
We are a well-established, purpose-driven business entering a significant phase of technology transformation and growth. Operating at the intersection of data, sustainability, and digital consultancy, we help organizations across the UK. As part of our efforts, we are embarking on a large-scale digital and data transformation that integrates multiple systems, unlocks value from rich data assets, and launches new technology products aimed at enhancing customer experience and driving commercial growth. If you are an experienced CTO or technology leader looking for a chance to own and deliver an end-to-end transformation in a business with real purpose and impact, we would love to hear from you. Basic salary is up to £150,000, with an annual performance bonus and hybrid working arrangements (3-4 days on-site in the Southampton area). We also offer private healthcare, a pension, and other standard benefits, along with the opportunity to play a defining role in a growing, forward-thinking organization backed by a long-term investor.
