## **The Opportunity**

Hands-on, entrepreneurial Fractional CTO to provide senior technology leadership during a critical growth phase. Work directly with the Founder/CEO and leadership team to own technology strategy, lead the engineering team, and ensure platforms can scale with the business. This is not a consulting role—embed with the team, make decisions, and drive execution.

## **What You'll Do**

**Technology Strategy & Architecture**
- Own and execute overall technology roadmap and platform architecture
- Evaluate and recommend technology solutions that support multi-channel e-commerce growth
- Ensure scalability, security, and reliability across all tech systems
- Represent technology in leadership and strategic planning meetings

**Team Leadership**
- Lead, mentor, and manage existing engineering team day-to-day
- Set clear priorities, KPIs, and delivery expectations for the tech team
- Identify gaps and make hiring recommendations where needed
- Foster a culture of ownership, speed, and quality

**Platform & Systems**
- Oversee and optimize Shopify multi-store setup, including integrations, apps, and checkout flows
- Manage integrations with order tracking tools, upsell/downsell sequences, and third-party platforms
- Audit existing tech infrastructure and implement improvements for performance and reliability
- Ensure systems support Amazon, TikTok Shop, DRTV, and retail channel operations

## **What We're Looking For**

**Required**
- Proven experience as CTO, VP Engineering, or equivalent senior tech leadership role
- Deep hands-on experience with Shopify and e-commerce tech stacks at scale
- Track record of building, leading, and scaling engineering teams
- Experience with multi-channel e-commerce: DTC, Amazon, TikTok Shop, or retail integrations
- Strong communicator who can translate between technical and business teams
- Based in the USA or Canada

**Preferred**
- Prior fractional or advisory CTO experience
- Familiarity with DRTV (direct response television) tech and operations
- Experience at a high-growth DTC brand ($50M–$500M revenue range)
- Exposure to 3PL/fulfillment tech and supply chain systems

## **Who You Are**

You've done this before—you know how to step into a fast-moving company, get up to speed quickly, and lead without needing hand-holding. You think like an operator, not just an architect. You're equally comfortable reviewing a pull request and presenting a 12-month technology roadmap to the CEO. You don't hide behind process. You ship. You own outcomes. And you know that in a lean company, your impact is visible and immediate.

**Engagement Details**
- Type: Fractional / Contract
- Duration: 6–12 Months
- Location: Remote — USA/Canada
- Hours/Week: 10–20 hrs (flexible)
