Chief Product & Technology Officer

About our client

Our client is a fast-growing Nordic FinTech company building data- and AI-driven products that help businesses make better decisions around credit and risk. Operating in a regulated environment, the company serves a growing base of established enterprise customers and is entering its next phase of growth.

The technology foundation is strong and the platform is proven. The next chapter is about turning that foundation into an increasingly scalable product and organisation - with AI playing an important role in where the company is heading.

About the role

As CPTO, you’ll join the executive leadership team and report directly to the CEO, with overall responsibility for Technology and a broad mandate across Product, Engineering and AI.

The company has strong technical capabilities in place. What the role calls for now is someone who can bring the pieces together: setting direction, creating focus, and building the structure needed to scale without adding unnecessary bureaucracy.

You’ll work closely with product and engineering leadership to connect business priorities with what gets built and why. A central part of the role is moving from a more opportunity- and customer-driven way of working towards scalable, repeatable products - while balancing new development with the evolution of the existing platform.

AI is an important part of that journey. The ambition goes beyond internal productivity; the CPTO will help shape how AI becomes a meaningful part of the product offering and long-term technology strategy.

This is an executive role, but not one at a distance. You’ll be expected to understand the technology, challenge decisions when needed, and stay close enough to the organisation to know where focus is required.

Who you are

• You’ve held a CTO, CPTO or equivalent senior technology leadership role and have helped a technology organisation through a meaningful growth or scaling journey.
• You’ve seen the transition from an early product and entrepreneurial setup towards a more scalable product, technology and operating model.
• You bring strong technical judgment and can engage credibly on architecture, cloud infrastructure and engineering without needing to be the person writing the code.
• You know how to turn strategy into priorities and execution - and are comfortable saying no when too many things compete for attention.
• You understand product as well as technology and can balance customer opportunities with building something scalable for the broader market.
• You have practical experience with AI/ML in production and understand where AI can create real product and business value.
• You’ve operated in an environment where security, privacy or regulation meaningfully shapes technology decisions.
• You know how to create clearer teams, ownership and accountability without letting process get ahead of progress.
• You’re commercially minded and comfortable moving between engineers, product leaders, customers and an executive team.

Nice to have: experience from FinTech, payments, financial services or another regulated technology environment, as well as B2B SaaS, enterprise software or other data-intensive products.
