AP Executive is partnering with a high-growth data and technology business to appoint a Chief Technology Officer as a defining hire in its next phase of scale. This is a rare opportunity to join at a pivotal moment. Having successfully built its platform through a combination of specialist vendors and external partners, the business is now ready to bring strategic technology leadership fully in-house at the highest level. The incoming CTO will set the direction, own the vision, and build the function around them.
We are seeking a technology leader who operates primarily at a strategic and organisational level, someone who shapes culture, drives architectural thinking, and partners with the executive team to translate commercial ambition into technical capability.
Key responsibilities include:
- Setting and owning the long-term technology vision and strategy in alignment with business objectives
- Building, structuring, and leading the internal technology function as it scales
- Establishing the governance frameworks, engineering culture, and operating standards that will underpin sustainable growth
- Acting as the primary technology voice at board and executive level, providing clear and confident counsel on technical direction and risk
- Overseeing the evolution of a growing real-time data platform, with accountability for architecture decisions and strategic vendor relationships
- Partnering with product, editorial, and commercial leadership to ensure technology remains a competitive differentiator
The successful candidate will likely possess:
- 10+ years of progressive technology leadership experience, with significant time at CTO or equivalent C-suite level
- A track record of defining and delivering technology strategy within high-growth fintech, data, or technology businesses
- Proven experience building and scaling engineering organisations, including hiring, structuring, and developing senior technical talent
- Deep knowledge of cloud-native architecture and data platform strategy, ideally with GCP exposure
- The credibility and communication skills to represent technology at board level and with external stakeholders
Additional experience considered advantageous:
- Background in crypto, financial data, or real-time market data environments
- Experience as a founding or first CTO within a scaling business
- French language skills
This is a genuinely formative role - the opportunity to shape both the technology and the culture of an ambitious business at the moment it matters most.
