Chief Technology Officer (CTO)

Role Overview:

A leading Digital & E-commerce Group is undergoing an exciting technological evolution, and we are looking for a sharp, forward-thinking, and dynamic Chief Technology Officer (CTO) to lead our tech division.

This is a unique opportunity to own the full tech lifecycle of a massive digital ecosystem, spanning a rich portfolio of leading consumer brands (including high-volume marketplaces, content platforms, and e-commerce engines). Leading an organic, highly-skilled tech division, you will be the driving force behind transforming our diverse portfolio of platforms into a unified, next-gen, AI-driven machine.

If you are a brilliant tech leader who is passionate about GenAI, modern architecture, and smart automation, and you’re looking for a role where you can truly leave a mark and drive substantial impact - this is your next step.

Key Responsibilities:

• Ecosystem Architecture & Evolution: Drive the architectural vision for a multi-product digital environment. Lead the gradual consolidation of diverse platforms into a scalable, unified, and modern infrastructure.
• AI & Innovation Execution: Actively introduce GenAI, smart search, and advanced personalization across the group’s properties to transform user experiences and B2B/B2C funnels.
• Full-Stack Ownership: Lead the tech roadmap for both high-traffic consumer sites and the underlying core systems (Data, Billing, CRM), ensuring a seamless, automated, and secure back-office infrastructure.
• People Leadership: Directly manage, mentor, and inspire a tech division composed of developers and team leads. Foster a fast-paced, high-ownership, and collaborative R&D culture.
• Keep it Lean & Scalable: Ensure maximum performance, high uptime, and modern cloud practices (AWS/GCP) across all group assets.

Requirements & Qualifications:

• Experience: 4-6+ years of tech leadership experience (e.g., Director of Engineering, Head of R&D, R&D Manager, or CTO of a startup) within high-volume B2C, E-commerce, or marketplace environments.
• AI-Forward Mindset: Strong passion for and practical understanding of AI/ML trends and how to implement them to solve real-world product and data challenges.
• Strong Architectural Core: Deep, up-to-date knowledge of modern cloud environments (AWS/GCP), microservices, and API-driven architectures. You don’t need to code every day, but you must be able to deep-dive into design reviews with your team leads.
• Agile & Execution-Oriented: Proven track record of delivering complex tech projects under tight deadlines while keeping architecture clean and scalable.
• Business-Savvy Techie: Excellent understanding of user funnels, data-driven optimization, and how smart tech choices drive business growth.
• Exceptional Communication: A collaborative leader who can easily translate complex technical concepts to business stakeholders and inspire a tight-knit engineering team.
