Job Purpose, Tasks And Responsibilities
Reporting directly to the CEO, the CTO is accountable for defining and delivering Wilmington’s technology vision, ensuring it underpins our strategic ambitions and accelerates transformation across the group.

You will operate as a trusted executive leader, shaping corporate strategy, guiding investment decisions, and ensuring technology enables innovation, scalability, and sustainable growth. This role blends strategic leadership with hands‑on influence, setting direction while ensuring delivery excellence.
You will be responsible for:
- Leading the delivery of a modern, composable architecture across proprietary platforms, cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure, GCP), CI/CD pipelines, and core business systems such as Salesforce.
- Ensuring technology scalability and integration capability to support ongoing acquisitions and rapid business growth.
- Building, inspiring, and leading a high‑performing, future‑focused technology function spanning Engineering, Architecture, Data, and Systems.
- Embedding a culture of technical excellence, learning, accountability, and continuous improvement.
- Championing Agile and product‑led delivery models that drive measurable business outcomes.
- Defining and executing an ambitious AI strategy, unlocking value from LLMs and emerging technologies while ensuring governance, ethics, and IP protection.
- Designing and overseeing an internal AI operations platform that integrates enterprise systems, automation workflows, and data assets.
- Establishing robust AI governance frameworks aligned with regulatory expectations and industry best practice.
- Driving AI‑assisted development approaches to significantly enhance productivity, quality, and speed‑to‑market.
- Managing strategic technology partnerships and vendors to maximise value, innovation, and performance.
- Setting enterprise‑wide technical standards to ensure consistency, resilience, and long‑term sustainability.
You’ll have a genuine opportunity to shape Wilmington’s future, with technology firmly at the heart of the group strategy. You'll have strong visibility and influence at executive and board level, and the space to set direction rather than simply react.
You’ll be working with an established technology organisation and leadership team, with clear momentum behind modern platforms, cloud, data and AI – giving you the chance to focus on building and evolving, rather than untangling legacy.
What’s the Most Challenging Thing About This Role?
One of the key challenges is balancing a group‑wide technology vision with the practical realities of a diverse, multi‑brand organisation. You’ll need to bring businesses with you – aligning differing priorities, levels of maturity and expectations – while still holding a clear line on standards, architecture and long‑term direction.
Essential And Desirable Capabilities
To be successful in this role, you must have:
- Deep expertise in cloud architecture (AWS, Azure, or GCP), including large ‑ scale, resilient system design and frameworks such as Well ‑ Architected, with the ability to clearly communicate complex concepts to non ‑ technical stakeholders.
- Strong experience in Enterprise Architecture, solution design, and delivering complex technology transformations at scale.
- Proven capability in modern engineering practices, including containerisation, CI/CD pipelines, Agile delivery, and code quality tooling.
