Description

Technology Director - AgriTech SaaS Platform | Hybrid

We are supporting our client, who is focused on transforming the future of UK agriculture, in finding a Technology Director to lead the technical evolution of its flagship financial and compliance platform which is already trusted by farms across the country.

This is a unique opportunity to take ownership of a mission-driven product, guide its technical direction, and build a platform that simplifies complex accounting, compliance, and reporting challenges for rural businesses.

About the Role

You will shape the long-term technology strategy for a leading agricultural SaaS product. Your focus will be on delivering a secure, scalable, and innovative platform that responds to evolving sector needs - from Making Tax Digital and VAT returns to sustainability incentives and subsidy tracking.

You'll lead a capable and motivated team spanning engineering, product, and data compliance. Together, you'll champion agile delivery, clean architecture, and user-centric design, while ensuring full alignment with commercial goals and customer success.

You'll work closely with Sales, Support, and Training teams to support every stage of the customer journey, and partner with the executive team on go-to-market activity, pricing strategy, and wider business planning.

What You'll Be Responsible For

Define the technical vision and architecture of a growing SaaS platform - ensuring performance, maintainability, and scalability as usage increases.
Champion features that simplify farm accounting, support enterprise tracking, and enable real-time decision-making through smart data integration.
Lead on GDPR, financial reporting, and agricultural standards compliance. Embed robust processes for audit-ready data, secure infrastructure, and accurate HMRC reporting.
Build and mentor a cross-functional team (internal and external), embedding agile practices and a culture of collaboration and delivery.
Manage third-party technologies and identify strategic integrations that add value - from Open Banking APIs to rural payment systems.What We're Looking For

We're looking for someone who's technically strong, commercially aware, and ready to influence at board level.

You'll likely have:

Senior leadership experience in a SaaS or product-based business (e.g., IT Director, Head of Engineering).
A strong understanding of cloud-based architecture, agile development, and data compliance.
The ability to communicate clearly across disciplines - from engineers to executives to end users.
Experience in finance, compliance, or regulated sectors; exposure to agriculture is a bonus, not a must.What's on Offer

A leadership role with real autonomy and impact.
Competitive salary with performance-based incentives.
Hybrid working (HQ in the South of England).
Enhanced pension, sick pay, maternity/paternity leave.
Generous holiday allowance and flexible working culture.
A relaxed, down-to-earth environment where collaboration and innovation are valued
