We need a Client Technology Leader who can sit at the centre of that. Embedded within the client team, you will be the steward of technology and AI strategy decisions, and the person the client’s technology leadership trusts when it matters most. You will govern an integrated technology ecosystem — spanning Martech, Data, Cloud, Agentic, and proprietary platforms — across CX, Commerce, and CRM, and engineering transformation across both the CMO’s and CTO’s offices.

Data strategy, unifying first-party data to power real-time personalisation

Alignment of paid and owned audiences to drive channel performance

Integrated technology strategy spanning the connected ownership experience, dealer network integration, and lifecycle CRM from acquisition through retention

Multi-market, multi-agency delivery — ensuring platform coherence, metadata integrity, and operational scalability

Agentic strategy, ensuring future solutions effectively leverage AI and agents

Build the commercial case for new areas of technical scope within the account

What You'll Need

Senior client-facing technical leadership experience: CTO, Technical Director, Principal Architect, or equivalent

Deep expertise in technology solutioning across martech, experience platforms, cloud, and integration at enterprise scale

Hands-on knowledge of integration patterns

Strong command of first-party data strategy and data architecture

Experience governing complex, multi-market delivery programmes where technical decisions carry brand and commercial consequence

Experience designing agentic architecture and human-in-the-loop operating models

Automotive sector experience, or equivalent high-stakes brand environment

Executive presence at C-suite level, with technical credibility among engineering teams

Who You'll Work With

The client’s CTO and VP-level technology stakeholders
