Chief Technology Officer - B2B SaaS - AI & Product Innovation
Upwards of £160,000 + EMI Equity
Hybrid London
We're working on a CTO opportunity with a high-growth B2B SaaS business entering its next phase of scale and product innovation.
This is not a traditional CTO role where you simply inherit an engineering function and keep things moving.
You’ll have a genuine seat at the table, working directly with the CEO, board and shareholders to shape the technology strategy and determine where the business goes next.
What makes this role different?
AI is central to the role. We’re looking for someone who has actually delivered AI in practice – not someone who simply understands the technology or has AI on their CV.
You’ll need experience across both sides of AI:
- Using AI and agentic development methodologies to make engineering teams faster, more effective and innovative.
- Building AI capabilities directly into a customer-facing SaaS product, creating genuine value for users.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
You’ll also be responsible for:
- Setting the technology and engineering strategy
- Driving product innovation and R&D
- Scaling and developing the engineering function
- Identifying emerging technologies that can create competitive advantage
- Taking innovation from R&D through to production
- Working closely with Product whilst also proactively influencing product direction
- Communicating complex technical opportunities clearly to a board-level audience
Who are we looking for?
Someone who is technically exceptional but commercially aware.
You’ll likely have experience as a CTO, VP Engineering or equivalent senior technology leader within a B2B SaaS or high-growth software business, ideally having experienced the journey from Series A into Series B or a similar stage of growth.
- Must have built AI functionality into production
- Must have implemented AI and Agentic software engineering into teams.
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
You’ll need to be able to talk credibly about the technology with engineers one minute, then confidently explain the commercial opportunity to a board the next.
Being a brilliant technologist isn't enough. Being a brilliant communicator isn't enough.
We need both.
The package
- Upwards of £160,000 base salary, depending on experience
- EMI Equity participation
- Genuine board-level influence
- Significant ownership of the technology and product direction
Confidential executive search
If you've built real AI innovation into products, transformed the way engineering teams work with AI, and want genuine ownership of the technology strategy within a high-growth SaaS business, I'd love to speak with you.
This is a confidential search, so I'll share further details privately with relevant candidates.
