Chief Technology Officer - CTO - Health and Wellness Industry

  • Full-time

Company Description

How would you like to be a part of one of the fastest growing companies in the health and wellness industry? My client, a US-grown CBD Company has been breaking down barriers in the health and wellness industry since its inception.  As one of the first CBD companies in the US they are paving the way for other CBD companies and was the first cannabis organization to join the New York Stock Exchange.  To keep up with demand, my client has been increasing in size and value at an extremely fast pace.  They pride themselves on doing things a little differently. As a new and thriving startup, they have the unique opportunity to create a work atmosphere that’s different than your normal 9-5 job. Think blue jeans and t-shirts instead of blazers and button-downs. They believe that a comfortable work environment heeds the best results. But just because they dress casually, doesn’t mean they work casual. As a part of a burgeoning health and wellness industry, they have to work twice as hard to implement winning strategies that help set their brand apart from the rest.

My client is seeking a dynamic and innovative Chief Technical Officer (CTO) to oversee all technical aspects of the company. The CTO will report directly to the CEO and be a forward-thinking leader providing technical leadership and training for the rest of the company. In addition to possessing the technical skills necessary to perform their duties, an ideal candidate should be creative, driven, and willing to be hands on to get things done. The Chief Technical Officer will work closely with the CEO and other executive management to grow the company through efficient and innovative use of technological resources. Driving strategy with a practical and active approach, the CTO will work to attain the Company’s strategic goals.  Looking specifically for someone who has run eCommerce websites.  If you’re interested in an exciting, new career challenge, apply today!
