Fractional CTO | Fintech SaaS

We’re retained on a Fractional CTO mandate for an established, profitable B2B fintech SaaS business at a genuine inflection point – transitioning from a mature desktop platform into a modular, cloud-native SaaS architecture, in a market where buyer expectations are shifting fast.

The CEO is looking for a senior technology leader to provide an independent, evidence-led view of the delivery function, architecture, and organisational design – and then drive the resulting changes into execution. This is not an advisory piece. The output must produce committed decisions, not further workshops.

The engagement, in short:

• Report to the Board end of May, 90-day plan in execution within a week
• Scope spans architecture, delivery model, product/org design, AI & UX translation, and a perception-vs-reality audit
• Engineering footprint: ~8 internal + ~16 outsourced

What we’re looking for:

• CTO-level operator with clear fintech pedigree
• Demonstrable experience of a desktop-to-SaaS or monolith-to-modular transition
• Hands-on technical credibility – architecture and code, not just decks
• Experience leading or restructuring outsourced engineering models
• Comfortable landing sharp, evidence-based findings in a politically live environment

Hybrid – exec team in London, engineering in Dublin. Remote with travel to both.
