Some technology roles build internal tools.
Others power the systems companies rely on to run real-world operations.
We’re working with a long-established technology business whose platforms support logistics networks, fuel distribution operations, workforce systems and industrial security environments. Their technology helps organisations track deliveries, manage fleets, control access to sites and capture operational data from devices in the field.
The business has a strong installed customer base and profitable core products.
Now the focus shifts toward the next stage of product evolution.
Multiple development teams currently operate across several independent platforms. The opportunity here is to bring greater structure across those systems, improve engineering discipline and guide how the technology estate evolves into a more unified and scalable platform.
This is where the incoming CTO comes in.
Why this role is interesting
→ opportunity to unify architecture and improve integration across systems
→ giving you the chance to shape how a mature technology estate evolves rather than simply maintaining a single product.
Technology used in real operational environments
→ systems relied upon daily by logistics teams, warehouse operators and field engineers
→ meaning your work has visible impact on real-world operations.
Large volumes of operational data generated by those systems
→ opportunity to develop more advanced data-driven capabilities over time
→ enabling the next generation of optimisation, analytics and AI-driven features.
Established engineering team already in place
→ multidisciplinary group including backend developers, mobile engineers, QA testers and hardware engineers
→ allowing you to focus on mentoring engineers, improving processes and raising technical standards rather than building a team from zero.
Microsoft /.NET ecosystem with Azure infrastructure
→ stable and widely adopted technology stack
→ enabling focus on improving architecture, delivery discipline and platform evolution.
Clear business growth ambition
→ the company is targeting significant expansion over the coming years
→ positioning technology leadership as a central driver of that growth.
Technology Environment
• Azure cloud infrastructure
• Integrated hardware + software product platforms
You’ll likely bring
• Experience leading engineering teams and improving delivery processes
• Strong background within Microsoft /.NET environments
• Exposure to SaaS platforms or evolving product environments
• A pragmatic leadership style focused on mentoring engineers and improving engineering discipline
Location: Manchester (Hybrid – typically 2 days per week in office)
