About The Opportunity

Welocity is supporting an established UK professional services business in the appointment of a hands on Chief Technology Officer to lead the next phase of its technology transformation.

About The Opportunity

Welocity is supporting an established UK professional services business in the appointment of a hands on Chief Technology Officer to lead the next phase of its technology transformation.

The organisation operates in a knowledge- and document-intensive professional services environment, where technology has significant potential to improve how teams work, serve clients and access information. The business is now looking to accelerate its use of AI, automation and modern digital technologies across the organisation. This is not a traditional IT leadership position. The incoming CTO will be expected to identify high-value opportunities, build and implement practical solutions, and establish a technology roadmap that delivers measurable business outcomes.

The Role

This opportunity would suit an experienced technology leader who combines hands-on technical capability with strategic leadership. Working closely with senior stakeholders across the business, you will identify where technology can deliver meaningful improvements and take solutions from concept and prototype through to production and adoption. You will lead initiatives spanning AI copilots, document intelligence, knowledge systems, workflow automation, cloud platforms, APIs and data infrastructure, while ensuring technology investment remains closely aligned with the organisation's commercial and operational priorities.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the design and implementation of AI and automation solutions, including copilots,

document intelligence, workflow automation and knowledge systems.

• Prototype, build and deploy solutions using modern technologies, platforms and APIs.
• Develop scalable cloud systems, data pipelines and automation frameworks.
• Identify opportunities to improve business processes through AI and automation.
• Partner with senior stakeholders to translate business requirements into practical technology solutions.
• Drive adoption and ensure new solutions become embedded in day-to-day operations.
• Define and deliver the technology roadmap in line with wider business priorities.

What We're Looking For

• Proven experience delivering AI, automation or digital transformation initiatives, ideally within

professional services.

• Strong hands-on technical and implementation capability.
• Experience with cloud platforms, AI technologies, APIs and automation frameworks.
• A track record of taking solutions from initial concept and prototype through to production.
• Strong product mindset, with an emphasis on usability, adoption and measurable outcomes.
• Excellent senior stakeholder management and the ability to communicate complex technology

clearly.

• Comfortable operating in a fast-moving, delivery-focused environment.

The Profile

We are looking for a builder as well as a technology leader someone pragmatic, commercially aware and comfortable getting close to the technology. You will be curious about emerging technologies, but equally focused on where they can deliver genuine business value. This is an opportunity to take meaningful ownership of an organisation's AI and technology transformation, combining strategic influence with the ability to turn ideas into working solutions.
