Role description

We're seeking a visionary technology leader to join our team as CTO. You'll play a pivotal role in shaping our technical strategy, leading both internal and client-facing projects, including our flagship Velocity CMS. We're looking for someone who's as comfortable in the codebase as they are in the boardroom, capable of architecting solutions, leading technical teams, and providing strategic advice to clients.

In this role, you'll define our technical vision, build and mentor a world-class development team, and work directly with clients to scope and deliver scalable technology solutions. You'll oversee the entire software development lifecycle, ensuring on-time, on-budget delivery that aligns with our strategic vision. We're particularly interested in your expertise in CRM ecosystems, multi-tenant SaaS platforms, and modern frameworks, with AI/automation and cloud-native architecture experience being a strong plus.

We offer a dynamic environment where you'll have the opportunity to make a significant impact. You'll be at the forefront of innovation, working with cutting-edge technologies and driving our company's technical direction. Whether you join us full-time or in a fractional capacity, you'll play a crucial role in our success and have the chance to shape the future of technology in our organization.
