Interim Chief Product & Technology Officer (CPTO)

*Please note, you must have both Technology And Product leadership experience in scaling (100+ teams) SaaS environments*

We are seeking an experienced and visionary interim Chief Product & Technology Officer (CPTO) to lead the next phase of our clients evolution — moving from transformation to scale-up.

This is a pivotal executive role for a commercially minded product and technology leader who thrives in high-velocity, complex environments. You will embed a product-led, partner-first culture, drive execution at pace, and deliver scalable, high-impact software that unlocks growth and long-term commercial value.

With foundational changes already made across Product and Engineering, the focus now is on execution, scale, and performance — building repeatable delivery, balancing legacy and SaaS portfolios, and accelerating value creation for customers and partners.

The Role

As CPTO, you will own the end-to-end product and technology agenda, from vision through delivery to commercialisation. You will be a core member of the senior leadership team, shaping strategy while staying close enough to the detail to ensure outcomes are delivered.

Key Responsibilities

• Embed a product management mindset across teams — prioritising customer and business outcomes over project outputs.
• Raise delivery standards, ensuring high-quality, partner-ready software is shipped at speed.
• Balance innovation with technical debt, managing legacy platforms alongside SaaS-first development.

2. Lead with a Scalable Product Vision

• Set and maintain a bold, customer-validated product vision grounded in commercial opportunity.
• Define and prioritise roadmap themes aligned to real market needs
• Build with a platform mindset, optimising for performance, scalability, and embedded value.

3. Enable Partner & Customer Growth

• Build product and engineering capabilities to support partner-led delivery at scale, including toolkits, diagnostics, sandbox environments, and training assets.
• Enable Customer Success and Partner teams to improve retention, adoption, and cross-sell.

4. Build & Scale High-Performing Teams

• Continue developing a unified Product and Engineering culture with shared goals and strong accountability.
• Structure teams for repeatable delivery, global coordination, and continuous improvement.
• Create transparency through delivery metrics and dashboards, embedding agility at every level.

5. Own End-to-End Product Commercialisation

• Define pricing, packaging, and monetisation strategies aligned to value creation and SaaS margin goals.
• Partner with GTM, Marketing, and Finance to drive adoption, renewals, and commercial leverage.
• Ensure full lifecycle ownership across all products — from inception through to deprecation.

About You

You are a strategic yet hands-on leader with the credibility to operate at executive level and the pragmatism to drive delivery.

• Proven track record scaling SaaS products in fast-moving, complex B2B environments.
• Deep experience leading Product and Engineering functions through transformation into high-performance, repeatable operations.
• Strong commercial acumen, with a clear understanding of pricing, ARR, margin models, and GTM alignment.
• Strong architectural and technical literacy, able to engage deeply on technical trade-offs.
• Proven experience leading products to market in a SaaS environment.

Leadership Attributes

• Scale-up mindset — focused on leverage, automation, speed, and systemic improvement
• Commercial operator — driven by value creation, revenue, and product-market fit
• Execution-focused — delivers outcomes with pace, structure, and discipline
• Innovative and pragmatic — balances ambition with delivery reality
• Customer-first leader — prioritises real-world needs over internal noise
• Inspiring communicator — brings clarity, energy, and accountability
• Resilient and adaptive — thrives in ambiguity, complexity, and change
• Comfortable operating strategically and in the detail, staying close to the product when required
