The questions you will answer • Which technologies should Createc invest in? • Which customer problems are worth solving? • Which ideas should become products? • Which initiatives should be accelerated, reshaped or stopped? • How can Createc create recurring revenue from its technology portfolio? What you'll be doing • Define and communicate Createc's company-wide technology and product strategy. • Bring multiple initiative roadmaps together into one coherent portfolio and technical vision. • Lead investment prioritisation, portfolio governance and evidence-based stop, start and continue decisions. • Commercialise intellectual property, products and services through credible routes to market. • Drive the transition from bespoke project work towards differentiated, repeatable and scalable offerings. • Build the product maturity, infrastructure and commercial discipline required to scale. • Coach senior leaders across Software
