Head of Technology & E-Commerce

The Opportunity

We are partnering with a high-growth, highly entrepreneurial nationwide digital commerce and distribution business. Experiencing substantial year-over-year growth, the organization has established a market-leading position through a sophisticated hybrid commerce model that pairs seamless online convenience with high-touch, consultative sales execution.

Operating with a lean, agile culture, the organization values frugal, pragmatic decision-making, speed, and high personal accountability. The leadership team heavily leverages practical open-source technology, cloud ecosystems, and emerging AI tools to continually optimize the customer journey and maximize operational throughput.

This is an elite opportunity for a modern, technically fluent executive to serve as a vital thought partner to the CEO, own the global technology roadmap, and directly influence business trajectory.

You will manage a nimble internal engineering team, oversee cloud infrastructure, and take ownership of a lean, high-performing e-commerce tech stack. Your immediate priorities will center on architecting decoupled data pipelines, automating operational workflows with AI, transitioning outsourced dependencies in-house, and upgrading data analytics capabilities to supercharge lead conversion and sales enablement.

• Practical Automation: Advance and implement practical, measurable AI and automation workflows across the business to accelerate operational execution.
• Team Leadership: Foster a high-accountability, high-trust engineering culture, maximizing the talent of a tight-knit technical team while managing elite external vendor relationships.
• Security \& Infrastructure: Oversee all cloud environments, IT operations, and corporate cybersecurity strategies.
