Chief Technology Officer (CTO) / Chief Scientific Officer (CSO)
Location: Hailsham, East Sussex
Salary: Competitive, dependent on experience
Job Type: Permanent | Full-time
Working Hours: 37.5 hours per week
Lead the technology and innovation strategy of a pioneering advanced materials business
We are seeking an exceptional Chief Technology Officer (CTO) / Chief Scientific Officer (CSO) to join an innovative, internationally focused engineering and advanced materials business operating at the forefront of specialist manufacturing and scientific development.
This is a senior leadership opportunity for an experienced technical professional who wants to do more than manage an R&D function. You will play a central role in defining the organisation's technology vision, product roadmap and future direction, helping turn scientific and engineering innovation into commercially successful products and solutions.
Working closely with the Managing Director and wider leadership team, you will provide the technical vision, strategic leadership and scientific expertise needed to support continued growth into new markets and emerging technology areas.
The Opportunity
This is a highly influential role spanning technology strategy, scientific research, engineering, product development and innovation.
You will quickly develop a deep understanding of the company's existing scientific and technical capabilities before helping shape what comes next — identifying opportunities in new materials, advanced manufacturing technologies and innovative applications.
You'll have the opportunity to influence investment decisions, build technical capability, develop senior talent and establish the roadmap for the next generation of products and technologies.
Key Responsibilities
Develop and deliver the company's technology, scientific and R&D strategy, aligned with long-term commercial objectives. Define and maintain a clear technology and product roadmap, balancing customer requirements, commercial opportunities and technical capability. Lead and develop the R&D and technical teams, providing direction, mentoring and support while building future technical leadership capability. Identify and evaluate emerging technologies, materials and processes, turning promising research into viable products and solutions. Oversee R&D programmes from initial concept through development and into delivery readiness. Work closely with commercial, product and engineering functions to ensure technology investment is aligned with customer and market needs. Provide high-level technical and scientific advice to the Managing Director and wider leadership team. Support the identification, recruitment and development of senior technical talent. Ensure product creation and development processes deliver against quality, time and cost objectives, while meeting relevant regulatory and quality requirements. Manage technology budgets, resources and development priorities effectively. Ensure technology infrastructure, systems and platforms are appropriately developed, scalable and secure. Protect the organisation's intellectual property, sensitive technical information and innovation pipeline. Maintain a strong awareness of technology trends, competitors and developments across advanced materials, additive manufacturing and related industries. Represent the organisation with customers, partners, investors and other senior stakeholders where required. Support a culture of scientific curiosity, engineering excellence and continuous innovation.
