Chief Technology Officer in Kilmarnock

About Fibeo

Fibeo is a new Scottish broadband provider preparing for launch in Autumn 2026 with a deliberately disciplined and governance-led approach to how broadband businesses are built and operated. While much of the industry prioritises short-term outcomes and financial engineering, Fibeo is being designed around operational resilience, scalable architecture and long-term customer value creation. This is an early-stage business, but it is being built properly from day one. The technical foundations being established now are intended to support a nationally - potentially globally - scalable broadband provider, with strong governance, long-term ambition, and which places the customer at the heart of everything we do.

The Role

We are seeking an exceptional service-driven Chief Technology Officer to take full executive responsibility for Fibeo's technology function from pre-launch readiness through to live operations, scale-up, and beyond. This is a formative executive appointment. The CTO will own and lead the complete technology ecosystem, ensuring architecture, integration, security, compliance and operational resilience are embedded from the outset.

Core Responsibilities

• Define and execute Fibeo's end-to-end technology strategy aligned to commercial objectives
• Oversee the full OSS/BSS ecosystem including integration, provisioning, billing, CRM and interoperability layers
• Lead technical relationships with wholesale network and platform partners
• Establish operational readiness frameworks prior to launch
• Deliver high availability, resilience and performance standards
• Implement Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery frameworks
• Ensure Telecoms Security Act and cyber security compliance
• Develop scalable infrastructure capable of supporting wholesale and retail growth
• Provide structured board-level reporting on technology performance, risk and investment

This role is focused on integration discipline, supplier governance and long-term architectural integrity rather than internal software development from first principles.

Who we are looking for

• Proven CTO or senior technology leadership experience within an ISP, fibre or telecoms environment
• Demonstrable experience implementing or consolidating OSS/BSS platforms
• Experience scaling technology functions through high-growth phases
• Strong understanding of regulatory and security requirements within UK telecoms
• Experience operating within multi-vendor environments
• Experience managing significant technology budgets with a focus on cost efficiency and long-term sustainability
• Comfortable operating at executive and board level
• Alignment with Fibeo's long-term, customer and governance-led approach

The Package

• Attractive equity participation from the outset
• Executive-level influence over long-term technical direction
• Structured transition to cash remuneration as the business scales
• The opportunity to build a nationally scalable Scottish ISP from first principles, and an industry first model.

Please note: This is not a traditional salaried CTO role at inception. It is intended for a senior and established technology leader motivated by ownership and responsibility, and whom enjoys generating value through the delivery of growth and long-term outcomes.

We have ambitious plans for market entry and scale-up. We will therefore be prioritising candidates who can start by 30th March 2026. Interviews will take place w/c 9th March 2026 and will involve an initial informal 30-min conversation with our Chief Executive. We don’t like unnecessary bureaucracy, so shortlisted applicants will then proceed to formal interview with our Chairman as the next and final stage.
