The Opportunity

We are hiring a Field CTO to serve as the most senior technology voice to our largest customers, prospects, and the market. The Field CTO is a C-suite-caliber technology executive who operates as a peer to the CIOs, CTOs, and CDOs of our Fortune 500 customers and a credible presence in their boardrooms.

Who You Are

• You are a rare profile: an enterprise operator with genuine commercial range. You have led transformation inside a Fortune 500 organization, and you know how to represent a platform to executive buyers, whether you built that muscle on the vendor side or by carrying your own company's capabilities to its largest customers.
• You understand how executive technology decisions are made, how enterprise transformation succeeds, and what it takes to create lasting business value.
• Enterprise Chief Information Officer (CIO) or Chief Technology Officer (CTO) experience at a Fortune 500 / Global 2000 organization, with ownership of enterprise architecture, application portfolios, technology strategy, and transformation at scale.
• Commercial experience on either side of the table. Strongly preferred: executive-level experience at an enterprise software vendor selling into the Fortune 500 (iPaaS, AI/ML, cloud platforms, data, ERP, or adjacent infrastructure).
• Also compelling: a customer-facing operator role in which you regularly represented your company's products, platform, and capabilities to enterprise customers, advisory boards, and industry analysts. Either way, you understand how executive buying decisions are made.
• 15+ years of senior technology leadership, including 5+ years at the C-suite or equivalent executive level.
• Deep fluency in enterprise integration architecture, AI and agentic systems, data platforms, cloud architecture, and the modern enterprise application ecosystem (Salesforce, SAP, Workday, ServiceNow, NetSuite, Oracle, Microsoft).
• Demonstrated success leading large-scale digital transformation with measurable business outcomes.
• A compelling storyteller and communicator, with executive presence proven through Board work, public speaking, analyst engagement, media, or published thought leadership.
• Comfortable operating in ambiguity, influencing without formal authority, navigating matrixed organizations, and moving at the pace of a high-growth platform company.
• Naturally curious and commercially minded, energized by helping customers solve complex strategic challenges, with the judgment and executive maturity the world's largest enterprises expect.

Location & Travel
