Chief Technology Officer

Are you an up-and-coming CTO who wants to build, scale, and leave a national footprint? This is a rare opportunity to step into a high-impact role at the intersection of large-scale connectivity, high-engagement media, and real-world infrastructure.

Our client is one of South Africa's fastest-growing digital commuter platforms—an ecosystem that combines free on-the-move Wi-Fi with rich, engaging content, giving brands direct access to millions of daily users across the country. Their platform is already a force in the market, with:

  • A
    national footprint
    and thousands of active mobile endpoints
  • Strong
    partnerships with major content creators and enterprise brands
  • A
    78% user recommendation rate
  • Industry backing from key associations
  • A new
    strategic collaboration with a major automotive group

They are entering a major growth phase—and need a CTO who can steer the next evolution of their platform.

What You'll Lead

You will architect and deliver the next chapter of this high-scale, high-visibility platform. This includes building resilient infrastructure, strengthening platform stability, driving innovation, and enabling the business to scale rapidly and sustainably.

You'll work closely with the executive team and play a critical role in translating growth ambitions into a robust, future-proof technology roadmap.

Who We're Looking For

This role is ideal for a high-potential CTO who wants to take on a platform of national significance. You should bring:

Must-Have Experience

  • Previous experience in Media or Telecommunications, or Small Fintech
  • Hands-on background in software development
  • Strong networking and connectivity knowledge
  • Solid experience in the understanding of building Captive Portals.
  • Proven experience leading and growing technology teams
  • between 15–25 years total experience, of which a minimum of 4+ years is in a CTO or comparable senior technology leadership position
  • Experience scaling platforms, architecting high-availability systems, or managing distributed networks

Additional Requirements

  • Based in
    Gauteng
    with the ability to work
    hybrid
    (a few days weekly in Bryanston, Johannesburg)
  • Strong stakeholder management skills paired with maturity and confidence
  • A builder's mindset with the ability to deliver at pace
  • Comfort working in a fast-growth, founder-led environment
  • Strategic leadership combined with hands-on technical oversight

Why This Role Stands Out

This isn't just another CTO job. It's the chance to shape a platform used by millions—one that blends commercial impact with meaningful social reach.

If you're ready to lead technology at a company on the brink of major scale, and you have the industry background to match, this could be the opportunity of a lifetime.
