【CTO - Chief Technology Officer】

This global SaaS company made it its mission to automate the hospitality industry.

In an industry chronically suffering under labour shortage - made even more severe through the recent pandemic and the current record numbers of international tourists in Japan - their suite of AI products have been massively popular among their hospitality clients.

Awarded one of the fastest growing startups in APAC by the Financial Times, and supporting more than 7000 clients, they had a successful IPO, acquired several competitors and are actively expanding across APAC, Europe and the US.

With the current executive team taking over expanding roles, they're now looking to hire for a global CTO to drive their global technology strategy, lead post-merger team- and product integrations, and manage major transformation projects.
