Chief Technology Officer (CTO)

Executive Leadership Opportunity

Target Compensation:

$250K\+ \+ Bonus and full suite of benefits

Overview

We are partnering with an organization seeking a hands-on, delivery-focused CTO to step into a newly created executive leadership role. Reporting directly to the CIO, this individual will act as a true right-hand leader and succession-minded hire, owning end-to-end software delivery across the enterprise.

This is not a traditional infrastructure-heavy CTO role. Instead, the focus is driving project execution, accelerating product delivery, and ensuring on-time, high-quality releases in a fast-paced, high-demand environment.

What You’ll Own

• Full ownership of enterprise software delivery lifecycle (SDLC): architecture → development → DevOps → QA → release
• Accountability for on-time delivery of strategic projects and new product initiatives
• Leadership of application development, architecture, DevOps, and QA teams
• Oversight of onshore and offshore engineering teams, including third-party vendors
• Driving modern engineering practices (Agile, CI/CD, automation, observability)
• Partnering directly with executive leadership (CIO, CEO, CFO) on delivery commitments and roadmap execution
• Building, mentoring, and scaling high-performing engineering leadership teams
• Establishing consistency, efficiency, and best practices across delivery organizations

Technology Environment

• Microsoft technology stack (.NET / C# environment)
• Modern application architecture and cloud-based development
• Experience in similar Microsoft-centric engineering environments strongly preferred

What We’re Looking For

• 15\+ years of progressive technology leadership experience
• Proven success owning and delivering large-scale enterprise software projects end-to-end
• Strong background in software engineering and architecture
• Experience managing multi-layered teams (VPs, directors, and offshore teams)
• Demonstrated ability to own delivery, drive accountability, and meet aggressive timelines
• Strong executive presence with the ability to communicate clearly with business stakeholders
• A leader who is:
• Highly autonomous
• Comfortable in a fast-paced, high-demand environment
• Both strategic and hands-on when needed
• Focused on execution, not just vision

Key Success Factors

• Acts as a single point of accountability for delivery
• Able to step into executive conversations and own project status in full detail
• Builds trust quickly with both technical teams and business leadership
• Drives consistent, predictable delivery outcomes

Additional Details

• Newly created role with strong visibility and impact
• Opportunity to serve as a succession candidate and executive partner to the CIO
• Will help transition work from external vendors to internal teams
• Highly collaborative executive environment with strong business alignment
