The Opportunity
A well-capitalised cybersecurity business is unifying multiple established engineering and product organisations into a single platform, backed by a leading growth investor with a clear value-creation runway. We are appointing the founding Chief Technology & Product Officer to own that unification and to scale the combined platform.
The Mandate
- Own product and engineering under one remit: the unified roadmap and the target architecture.
- Bring multiple technology stacks and product lines into one coherent platform — with the judgement to know what to integrate, what to rebuild, and what to leave alone.
- Build for how this business goes to market: partner-led and channel-delivered, mid-market, across multiple countries.
- Work directly with the CEO, the board and the investor to turn the thesis into shipped product and enterprise value.
Who we are looking for
Leaders who have genuinely done this, not sat inside a merger, but led one.
You will have personally led the integration of two product-and-engineering organisations; deep engineering credibility; product leadership in cybersecurity or adjacent B2B SaaS; a feel for a channel and mid-market model; and the range to lead a distributed, multi-country organisation.
Scale is critical here: this business is in a critical phase of growth with roughly 250 heads across the technology functions. Therefore, relevant experience of integrating the teams whilst defining the processes and operating model for building and shipping software is a must.
The reward
Structured as a wealth-creation opportunity, not a salary move. The centre of the package is significant management equity: genuine ownership, aligned to the value you create and to the investor's return. Base and premio are competitive. If you are motivated primarily by base, this is not your search; if you are motivated by owning the outcome, it is.
