The Chief Technology Officer is responsible for the technology offering at B-Reel globally, leading all internal and external technology driven initiatives. The role is crucial to the success of B-Reel, helping craft our focus on innovation across all areas of our business and redefining what success looks like over the next phase of our development.

To allow for hands-on experience with both clients and the internal B-Reel team, you will be anchored into a local office with the remit to drive technology solutions for that specific geography as a part of the job assignment.

In addition, you'll be part of the Global leadership team, responsible for developing a client driven strategy to position B-Reel as a leader in marketing communication and product development. You will be responsible for delivering this strategy by leading the internal technology team and finding new ways to grow and strengthen our offering. The CTO reports directly to the COO.

You will work collaboratively with the local TD's, MD's, Strategy Directors and client Brand Directors to help develop specific client strategies that unlock the highest potential business results for both our clients and B-Reel.

As part of the client strategies, you will be required to help drive B-Reel's new business offering by engaging in specific pitch and client opportunities. The role will also require you to be actively involved in developing client opportunities over time, by supporting the local MDs and Brand Directors, and build and grow relationships with clients directly.

You're a dirty-hands creative extrovert technologist with leadership skills. Your leadership style is just like B-Reel leadership: generally personal and leading-by-example and the whole organisation flourishes with collaboration, empowerment and low hierarchy. You're a smart doer and a non pretentious strategic thinker who turns thoughts into action without missing a beat, bringing the team with you, with whatever solves the problem..

Outside of client driven initiatives, you will advise on our internal IT infrastructure and will help craft the appropriate tools and third party services required for the wider B-Reel team to provide extraordinary client service.
