High-Tech | Fast-Moving | Innovation-Led
KO2’s client is a high-technology, fast-evolving engineering business based in Glasgow. They design and develop highly innovative products for some of the biggest business names in the world.
While many organisations are slowing down, restructuring or reducing headcount, KO2’s client is growing. They operate in a space where deep technical capability is in high demand, and they continue to attract top-tier engineering talent in an increasingly competitive Scottish market.
This is not a slow, corporate, process-heavy environment. This is a business built on pace, innovation and delivery.
The Opportunity – A Truly Varied Technical Leadership Role
This is not a narrow Technical Director position.
This is a broad, influential, hands-on leadership role requiring someone who can move effortlessly between:
* Strategic technical direction
* Product innovation
* Engineering execution
* Team development
* Commercial awareness
* Customer engagement
You will shape technical architecture, influence product direction and guide multidisciplinary engineering teams — while ensuring innovation turns into real-world delivery.
The role demands an innovator and inventor at heart — someone who enjoys solving complex problems and pushing technical boundaries. But equally important is the softer side of leadership.
KO2’s client is looking for a Technical Director who:
* Brings people with them
* Coaches and develops talent
* Encourages initiative
* Builds alignment and energy
* Leads through influence, not hierarchy
This is about building capability as well as technology.
Culture – Built for Self-Starters
KO2’s client values:
* Initiative
* Ownership
* Energy
* Real communication skills
* Accountability
They are quick-moving and high-expectation. They look for people who act, not wait. People who pick up the phone. People who engage. People who show drive.
If you prefer heavy structure, long approval chains and a steady, predictable pace — this won’t be the right environment.
If you thrive in ambiguity, enjoy responsibility and want genuine influence — this is a rare opportunity.
Who You Are
You are likely:
* Technically exceptional
* Comfortable leading senior engineers
* Commercially aware
* Energised by innovation
* Confident making decisions
* Passionate about developing others
You understand that technical excellence alone is not enough — sustainable success comes from building strong, capable, motivated teams.
Presence, collaboration and pace matter to KO2’s client, and this is a role for someone who wants to be embedded in the business and make visible impact.
EXCEPTIONAL BENEFITS PACKAGE

If you are an innovative Technical Director who combines invention with inspiration, and you want to join a Glasgow-based technology company that is accelerating while others hesitate, KO2’s client would welcome a conversation.
