Job Overview
We’re looking for a hands-on, visionary CTO to lead a high-performing tech team, drive innovation, and shape the future of a fast-growing Accounts Payable automation SaaS business trusted by hundreds of organisations across the UK and Ireland.
This is not a big-corporate CTO role. It’s suited to someone who has grown up in smaller or mid-sized technology businesses, where pragmatism, speed, and ownership matter just as much as strategy.
The business is transforming how finance teams manage supplier invoices using AI, automation, and cloud-native technology, eliminating manual processes and giving customers full visibility and control over invoice workflows. With strong market traction and ambitious growth plans, this is a genuine opportunity to make a lasting impact.
What You’ll Own
- Technology Strategy & Roadmap – Set and deliver a cloud-first, scalable technology strategy aligned to product and commercial goals.
- Azure Platform Leadership – Own and evolve the Microsoft Azure environment, ensuring security, performance, resilience, and scalability.
- Engineering Leadership – Build, mentor, and lead a high-performing, hands-on engineering team across distributed locations.
- Product & Architecture Oversight – Drive strong system architecture, development standards, CI/CD pipelines, and platform scalability.
- Innovation & Automation – Leverage AI and automation to deliver tangible customer and business value.
- Senior Stakeholder Partnership – Work closely with founders, executives, and product leaders to turn business priorities into technical outcomes.
- Governance & Security – Ensure robust security, reliability, and compliance (including ISO27001) without unnecessary complexity.
What You Bring
- 10+ years in senior technology leadership, ideally within small to mid-sized SaaS or product-led businesses
- Strong, hands-on experience with Microsoft Azure (this is essential!)
- Deep understanding of modern software architecture, cloud infrastructure, and DevOps practices
- Proven experience scaling platforms and teams in high-growth environments
- A pragmatic mindset — comfortable rolling up your sleeves where needed
- Commercial awareness and the ability to balance technical excellence with business realities
- Clear, confident communicator who can work closely with non-technical stakeholders
- Must be Dublin-based with full right to work and no sponsorship required.
Why This Role is Exciting
You’ll be joining at a pivotal growth stage, with real influence over technology decisions, team shape, and platform direction. This is a role for someone who wants ownership, impact, and pace — not layers of bureaucracy.
If you see technology as the engine of growth and you’ve thrived in lean, scaling businesses using Azure-based platforms, this could be your next challenge.
