Chief Technology Officer

Job Description

About the Role

At the enterprise level, technology is no longer an enabler operating behind the scenes; it is the primary engine of innovation, differentiation, and scale. We are seeking a Chief Technology Officer (CTO) to define and lead the long-term technology vision for a global organization operating complex, high-volume digital platforms across markets and geographies.

This role is designed for a senior technology executive who understands how to architect for scale, modernize legacy systems, and accelerate innovation without sacrificing reliability or security. The CTO will own the enterprise technology roadmap across product engineering, platform architecture, cloud infrastructure, developer productivity, and emerging technologies.

As a core member of the executive leadership team, the CTO will partner closely with the CEO, CIO, Product, Operations, and Security leadership to ensure technology strategy directly supports business growth, customer experience, and operational resilience. You will guide the organization through cloud transformation, AI adoption, platform modernization, and engineering excellence at scale.

This is not a hands-off visionary role. It is a mandate to build technology as a durable, competitive enterprise capability, one that scales globally, adapts continuously, and delivers measurable business outcomes.
