Their platform handles sensitive data for organisations where trust, security and genuine outcomes genuinely matter, and they're entering an exciting next stage of growth. The Role This is a hands-on, high-impact CTO role not a large-company, committee-led position.

A strong Product Manager handles much of the day-to-day product work; your job is to set direction and ensure strategy aligns with business goals. The team has responded well to clear, calm leadership and honest escalation of risk - the next leader will combine genuine empathy with decisiveness and higher expectations. On the platform side, the key themes you'll work through include: data and analytics architecture, API and integration strategy, observability, security architecture, CI/CD maturity, scalability and cloud infrastructure. Experience across AWS, modern SaaS architecture and sensitive or regulated data environments is essential. What We're Looking For • Senior technology leadership in a small B2B SaaS or scale-up environment • Strong architectural judgement across cloud-native SaaS, APIs, observability and security • Experience leading engineering and product teams directly • A track record of improving delivery confidence and managing technical debt commercially • The ability to communicate technical trade-offs clearly to non-technical stakeholders • Experience with sensitive data, regulated environments or compliance obligations The right person will be decisive but not arrogant, calm under pressure, commercially curious, and technically credible enough to lead a sceptical engineering team - while being comfortable at Board level. Why Join This role offers real influence, meaningful work and the chance to shape the next stage of a business whose purpose genuinely matters. You'll have genuine authority, a seat at the Leadership Team table, and the opportunity to make decisions that will define the next five years.
