cto - London, United Kingdom - Nixor

Description

CTO required to join an ambitious scale up in west London. A fintech business who have a platform which connects organisations seeking investment to the institutions who will fund them.

They have just gone through a further round of funding and have some of the biggest financial institutions in the city as investors, who are looking to drive significant growth in the business.

The company have a 20 person development function in Eastern Europe, and as part of the next phase of their development they want to bring on board a strategic (but still hands on) CTO who can help lead the business through their next phase.

This will be the organisations' first CTO and the primary function will be to support the founders in all things technical to take the business to the next phase.

The short term goal being to assess the capability of the present technology team and make the appropriate changes to ensure they are fit for the future, and a significantly larger development workload.

Longer term it's all about adding new functionality to the present platform, to enable them to provide a full spectrum product to a market.

The requirement is for a combination of Strategist, pragmatist and people manager, and there will be a requirement to 'wear many hats' given the stage the business is at.

Someone with some exposure to capital markets would be useful but it's no means a prerequisite for the role.

Experience working within a business building a client facing application would exposure managing a data science function as this forms part of the present team.
