Chief Technical Office Delivery Lead

Permanent employee, Full-time · London Office

Your mission

As part of Index’s recent acquisition, we are seeking a CTO / Delivery Lead to guide the newly integrated company through its next phase of growth and technical maturity. This leader will bring deep technical expertise, strong delivery discipline, and the ability to scale the engineering organization from 50 to 100+ specialists while ensuring high-quality execution across all client engagements.

The ideal candidate is a technical authority with excellent client-facing communication skills—someone who brings credibility in technical discussions, can translate complex solutions clearly, and supports our sales and account teams on calls without actively engaging in cold selling. Your presence will help reassure clients, align expectations, and accelerate trust.

Key Responsibilities

2. Delivery Governance & Process Excellence

Introduce consistent methodologies across teams (Agile/Scrum/Kanban, DevOps practices, release management).
Ensure predictable, high-quality project delivery with strong KPIs and performance metrics.
Drive continuous improvement, operational efficiency, and scalability.

3. Technical Authority in Client Engagements

Join client calls as the senior technical representative—bringing credibility and clarity.
Translate business requirements into technical approaches and validate feasibility.
Provide architectural guidance, high-level solutioning, and delivery insights.
Support commercial teams with expert input without doing outbound prospecting or cold sales.
Build long-term trust with clients by demonstrating competence, transparency, and reliability.

4. Strategic Technology Leadership

Drive the technical vision aligned with the company’s and Index’s growth strategy.
Introduce modern architectures, tools, and engineering practices.

Ensure a smooth integration into Index’s culture, delivery model, and operational standards.
Serve as the bridge between business strategy and technology execution.

Your profile

A seasoned technology leader who has scaled engineering organizations in outsourcing, software development, or delivery-focused environments.
Strong technical foundation with the ability to speak confidently across architecture, engineering, and delivery.
Commercially aware and able to support sales conversations by building trust—not selling.
Strong operational mindset with experience implementing processes, KPIs, and delivery governance.
Able to lead through integration and change in a newly acquired environment.
Minimum 10 years of senior management experience in delivery and operational leadership roles.
