About the Role
This is an execution and people leadership role reporting to an incoming fractional CTO.
The successful candidate will:

• Unify a currently fragmented Landing Page Builder group
• Bring real Scrum discipline to delivery
• Manage a hybrid team of client's engineers and embedded vendor developers through a legacy-to-AI-native product transition
  
  What We Need:
• 7–12 years of engineering experience, with 3+ years managing teams of 8 or more in a SaaS environment
• Proven experience leading a team through a legacy-to-modern product transition while managing parallel workstreams
• Demonstrated experience shipping AI-powered or agentic features that are actually in production (not just POCs)
• Experience managing hybrid teams of full-time staff and embedded vendor or contractor developers
• Enough technical depth to earn credibility in design conversations, though the person is not expected to write code
• A genuine track record of developing senior engineers into technical leaders
• Culture Fit
  We are looking for someone who:
• Moves with urgency
• Treats AI as a real capability multiplier rather than a buzzword
• Measures success by how much they unblock and upskill others
• Builds momentum without leaving people behind
