• Board-Level Leadership:
• Present complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders, including board members and executive leadership, in an easy-to-understand manner. Participate actively in board meetings, offering strategic technology insights that influence company direction. Be the key voice on all technology-related decisions at the board level.
• Technical Due Diligence & Innovation:
• Identify and evaluate new technologies, tools, and platforms that can drive innovation. Oversee the technical evaluation of potential partnerships, mergers, and acquisitions. Ensure the company stays competitive by anticipating and addressing technological shifts.
• Project Oversight & Execution:
• Drive the successful delivery of large-scale, mission-critical projects on time and within budget. Oversee cross-functional project teams and ensure strong collaboration between engineering, product, and other departments.
• Risk Management and Security:
• Own the security and compliance strategy for all technology and data systems. Identify, mitigate, and manage risks related to technology platforms and products.
• Budgeting and Resource Allocation:
• Lead technology budgeting and resource allocation processes. Ensure that the technology department operates efficiently and effectively within budget while maintaining the ability to scale operations as needed.

Key Requirements:

• Experience:
• 10+ years in a technology-related field, with at least 5 years in senior leadership roles (preferably as a CTO, VP of Engineering, or equivalent).
• Proven experience leading software development teams and mobile development projects (iOS/Android).
