Sector: AI/ML | Marketing Analytics
Revoco is proud to be partnering with a global marketing technology business, backed by a highly experienced team spanning media strategy, planning, data science, qualitative research, software development, and data engineering.
They are seeking an experienced and visionary Chief Technology Officer to lead their engineering function through the next phase of growth. You’ll step into a critical leadership role as they scale their platform, deepen their AI/ML capabilities, and strengthen their cross-functional collaboration across product, data science, and client services.
This is a rare opportunity to join a high-impact, team that blends deep machine learning expertise with a stable and modern cloud-native stack. As their founding CTO transitions to a new role, you’ll inherit a mature platform, a strong engineering culture, and the trust of a company ready to evolve its technology leadership.
The Challenge
You’ll be stepping into a dynamic, high-growth environment where:
- Engineering is central to delivering cutting-edge, AI-driven measurement products for the world’s biggest brands.
- Their platform is mature, built on GCP, with Golang, Python, Angular, and strong adoption of Vertex AI and Temporal.
- The engineering team (currently 10) is cohesive, skilled, and based in London. They're autonomous, humble, and ready to scale.
- You’ll act as a strategic bridge—partnering closely with Product and Data Science leaders to bring innovation to life while protecting engineering focus and quality.
Your Responsibilities
- Define and lead their technology strategy, evolving a stable platform without unnecessary disruption.
- Scale and mentor the engineering team, maintaining a strong, delivery-focused culture.
- Guide the integration of advanced ML/LLM models, working with a separate but close-knit data science function.
- Establish clear ways of working across Product, Data Science, and Client Services, buffering engineering from noise while enabling strategic responsiveness.
- Strengthen SDLC processes, improve quality and testing practices, and reinforce a strong DevOps culture.
- Serve as a technical figurehead, communicating clearly with internal stakeholders, clients, and board members.
What You’ll Bring
- CTO or senior engineering leadership experience in a high-growth environment.
- Proven success in scaling engineering teams while maintaining technical excellence.
- Strong knowledge of GCP, microservices, and modern DevOps practices.
- Confident working cross-functionally, especially with product, client teams, and data science.
- Able to support ML/LLM initiatives from a leadership perspective, no hands-on coding required.
- Comfortable taking over from a founding CTO and evolving a successful engineering culture.
If you’re a strategic yet grounded technology leader who thrives on enabling great teams, shaping modern platforms, and translating AI innovation into business impact, we’d love to hear from you.
