We’re looking for a senior technology leader—someone who can set the vision for our digital future and lead the charge in building our tech teams from scratch. This isn’t just about managing existing systems; it’s about designing new ones, creating a platform that can grow, and embedding innovation into everything we do.

If you’ve built platforms from the ground up, led enterprise software rollouts like ERPs or CRMs, or have a strong understanding of logistics and real estate tech, this could be a great fit. You’ll be a key part of our leadership team, making strategic decisions that shape the business for years to come.

• Build and lead teams of talented engineers—either from scratch or by scaling existing groups.
• Oversee the development and implementation of core systems such as ERPs, CRMs, and logistics management tools.
• Design a scalable and secure platform that enables us to manage real estate assets and logistics seamlessly.
• Work closely with other leaders to ensure tech supports business growth and innovation.
• Keep us ahead of the curve by regularly reviewing emerging technologies and trends.
• Manage relationships with vendors and external partners.
• Communicate our tech vision clearly to the leadership and board.

Who we’re after

• An experienced CTO, CIO, or senior tech leader
• Someone who’s led teams, built platforms, and delivered enterprise systems—either in smaller start-ups or larger organizations.
• Comfortable working in fast-moving environments, with a hands-on mindset when needed.
• Deep understanding of the industries we serve.
• Track record of building reliable, scalable technology solutions from scratch.

About you

• 10+ years in senior tech roles, with proven leadership experience.
• Skilled at building teams and scaling technology solutions.
• Well-versed in enterprise software systems, cloud infrastructure, and modern development practices.
• Strong communicator, capable of working with both technical teams and senior executive peers.
• Passionate about technology’s role in transforming industries like logistics and real estate.
