We are looking for an experienced Retail Technology Director to strengthen our retail technology capability and help grow our work across existing and prospective client accounts.
This is a senior, client-facing role for someone who combines credible technology leadership with strong commercial instincts. You will work with senior retail stakeholders to understand their challenges, shape technology strategies and identify opportunities that can be developed into valuable programmes of work.
You will provide strategic technology leadership across areas including digital commerce, data, AI, automation, platforms, and retail transformation. You will also work closely with our client engagement, commercial, and delivery teams to develop propositions, shape solutions, and support opportunities from initial conversation through to delivery.
This is not a traditional internal CTO role. It is best suited to an experienced technology leader or consultant who enjoys working directly with clients, shaping complex opportunities, and turning technology strategy into practical outcomes.
