Empowerment through Innovation
This visionary leadership role seeks an experienced technology executive to drive strategic growth and innovation. As a key member of our team, you will be responsible for defining and executing a long-term technology roadmap aligned with business goals and objectives. Your expertise in client-side web development, front-end and API-driven development, and cloud computing will be essential in guiding the evolution of our digital product. With a strong understanding of security and scalability, you will ensure the site's performance and reliability meet the highest standards. This is a hybrid role combining strategic leadership with hands-on involvement, requiring approximately 25–30% of your time dedicated to implementation and debugging.

We are transitioning from in-house backend development to a third-party tech provider to enhance scalability, security, and performance while reducing bugs and maintenance overhead.

* Technology & Product Strategy - Define and execute a long-term technology roadmap aligned with business goals and innovation.
* Leadership & Growth - Inspire, mentor, and empower teams to drive effective execution.
* Product Ownership & Execution - Oversee product evolution, ensuring front-end and API development supports user experience, marketing agility, and growth initiatives.
* Security & Scalability - Ensure site security, performance, and scalability by working with our third-party technology partner while keeping internal processes efficient.
* Technical Escalation & Support - Provide backup for critical issues and guide troubleshooting, ensuring smooth collaboration with third-party providers.
* Cross-Functional Collaboration - Collaborate with marketing, sales, and operations to leverage technology for business impact.
The ideal candidate will possess excellent communication skills, adaptability, and a resourceful mindset. They should be excited about this transformation, refining product strategy, guiding teams, and driving innovation rather than pushing for in-house backend development. The successful applicant will thrive in a flexible, independent work environment and have a strong passion for AI and emerging technologies.
