Search Background

The technology team was growing at a rapid pace and the existing leadership team decided that it was the right time to work with an experienced, strategic technology leader who had been part of fast-growth, venture-backed executive teams before. The requirement was for someone who could operate with the team at present scale (hands-on tactics required) whilst bringing proven ability to scale the team and manage Engineering managers with teams underneath them. The technology team is expected to grow threefold in the next couple of years meaning that the CTO will need to ensure that there is an engaging engineering brand within the business to attract and retain top talent.
