About The Role
Enterprises are in the middle of transformation. The technology decisions being made right now — across AI-forward vision and roadmap, marketing operations, data, connected CX, and platforms — will shape how they compete for years to come.
We need a Client Technology Leader who can sit at the centre of that. Embedded within the client team, you will be the steward of technology and AI strategy decisions, and the person the client’s technology leadership trusts when it matters most. You will govern an integrated technology ecosystem — spanning Martech, Data, Cloud, Agentic, and proprietary platforms — across CX, Commerce, and CRM, and engineering transformation across both the CMO’s and CTO’s offices.

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
