## Description

HQ Bath (Hybrid 1 day a week in the office or bi-weekly if further away)

We're working with a long-term client to hire a Head of Technical to lead the build, scale, and performance of a growing digital product ecosystem.

This is a senior leadership role with real ownership - you'll be responsible for how products are delivered, how systems scale, and how engineering, data, and IT come together to drive commercial impact.

The role

You'll sit at the centre of product, engineering, and data - translating roadmap into delivery, and ensuring everything runs reliably, efficiently, and at pace.

This is not a hands-off leadership role. You'll be expected to challenge, shape, and improve how things are built, while supporting a team to deliver consistently.

What you'll be doing

 * Own end-to-end delivery of digital products, features, and platform improvements
 * Lead engineering, data, and IT teams to deliver high-quality, scalable solutions
 * Oversee system performance, uptime, integrations, and data flows
 * Champion modern practices across DevOps, automation, AI, and CI/CD
 * Manage third-party vendors and external delivery partners
 * Build and develop a high-performing, accountable technical team

What we're looking for

 * Proven experience leading technical delivery, engineering, or product teams
 * Strong understanding of digital product development and architecture
 * Ability to operate at both strategic and hands-on level
 * Comfortable working across engineering, data, and cloud environments
 * Strong communicator - able to translate technical into commercial impact
 * Experience working in scaling or fast-moving environments
 * Exposure to AI, data-led products, or automation tooling

Nice to have

 * Background in SaaS, marketplace, or digital platforms

Why this role

 * Own delivery across a growing product suite
 * Work on AI-driven and data-led product innovation
 * Join a business investing in new products and scalable infrastructure
 * High visibility role with direct impact on growth

Package

 * Discretionary bonus (up to 10%)
 * 33 days holiday (incl. bank holidays)
 * Private medical / wellbeing allowance
 * Pension, income protection, and additional benefits
