Chief Technology Officer

Chief Technology Officer (CTO)

Build, scale, and redefine a category-leading ecommerce platform

About the Opportunity

This is not a typical CTO role.

You’ll join a business where technology is the product — powering a highly visual, deeply customised ecommerce experience used by creatives, professionals, and global brands.

The platform transforms digital content into premium, physical products, combining advanced web technology with real-world production at scale. Every interaction, every configuration, every detail matters.

If you’re looking for a role where you can truly shape the future of a platform, team, and technology landscape, this is it.

Your Impact

As CTO, you will define and execute the technology vision across the entire organisation — from the e-commerce platform to internal systems and production infrastructure.

You’ll work closely with the executive team to ensure technology is a core driver of growth, performance, and customer experience.

What You’ll Be Responsible For

Digital Product & Ecommerce

• Own and evolve a high-performing ecommerce platform
• Optimise the end-to-end customer journey (discovery → configuration → checkout → post-purchase)
• Drive improvements in conversion, performance, and personalisation

Technology & Architecture

• Define and lead the overall technology strategy and architecture
• Ensure scalability, reliability, and long-term sustainability
• Oversee integrations across systems and platforms

Infrastructure & Operations

• Lead technology across both digital and production environments
• Ensure reliability and connectivity across multiple locations
• Own infrastructure, hosting, and system resilience

Leadership & Culture

• Lead and develop a multidisciplinary tech team (~18 people)
• Build a high-performance, collaborative engineering culture
• Empower teams while fostering accountability and ownership

Strategy & Business Alignment

• Partner with product, marketing, and commercial teams
• Use data and insights to drive product and business decisions
• Align technology initiatives with overall business goals

What We’re Looking For

• Experience as a CTO, VP of Engineering, or senior technology leader
• Strong background in e-commerce or digital platforms
• Proven track record of scaling platforms and teams
• Commercial mindset with a deep understanding of customer experience and growth drivers
• Ability to translate business strategy into technology execution
• Strong leadership skills with the ability to inspire and align teams
• German Native

Why This Role Stands Out

• High ownership and autonomy with real influence at the leadership level
• Complex and meaningful technical challenges
• End-to-end responsibility across the platform and infrastructure
• International scale with real operational depth
• A culture that values ideas, speed, and impact

What You’ll Bring

• A builder mindset — you want to create, not just maintain
• The ability to lead through influence, clarity, and vision
• A pragmatic, hands-on approach to solving complex problems
• Strong communication skills across both technical and non-technical stakeholders
