Chief Technology Officer | London | Hybrid

We're working with a market-leading B2B intelligence and digital content powerhouse on this exciting opportunity to spearhead an AI-first evolution.

As CTO, you will lead a high-performing software engineering team to bridge the gap between world-class curated content and generative search technologies. We are looking for a visionary leader who can navigate complex legacy systems while building scalable, cloud-native solutions on AWS to redefine how global users interact with expert data.

The Role

  • Lead the technological transformation from a traditional content provider into a cutting-edge platform powered by Generative AI and advanced search capabilities.
  • Spearhead engineering strategy across a diverse estate, including AWS cloud infrastructure, Drupal CMS, and Salesforce CRM integration.
  • Manage a multi-disciplinary software development team, fostering a culture of high availability, security, and rapid, predictable delivery.
  • Collaborate directly with the CEO and Directors of Generative Search to align product roadmaps with commercial growth and superior user engagement.
  • Oversee technical governance and vendor management to ensure third-party services meet rigorous scalability and performance standards.

What You'll Need

  • Extensive leadership experience at a senior level (CTO, VP of Engineering, or Head of Tech) within customer-facing digital content or data-heavy B2B environments.
  • Strong technical background in cloud platforms (AWS), complex CMS architectures (Drupal), and Enterprise CRM (Salesforce) management.
  • Proven track record of delivering AI-driven features or advanced search/discovery tools that significantly enhance the digital customer experience.
  • Exceptional communication skills, with the ability to translate complex engineering challenges into strategic business outcomes for non-technical stakeholders.
  • Experience managing tech debt and legacy systems while simultaneously migrating to modern, scalable microservices or AI-centric architectures.

What's On Offer

  • Competitive executive salary and a high-impact leadership role at the forefront of the AI content revolution.
  • Generous performance-based bonus structure and a comprehensive benefits package.
  • Flexible hybrid working model based in a central London tech hub.
  • The opportunity to shape the future of B2B intelligence for a global audience.
