Chief of Staff to the CTO

About this role

We’re looking for a Chief of Staff to the CTO

Intercept is an award-winning B2B marketing agency specializing in creating impactful digital content, creative, and campaigns that engage IT and business decision-makers.

We work with some of the largest enterprise technology companies in the world, including Microsoft, SAP, Lenovo, Intel, AMD, Cisco and more, helping them connect with their target audiences in meaningful ways.

As a Certified Great Place to Work, we foster a collaborative and innovative environment where employees excel. With a fully remote workplace, we provide our team the flexibility they need to thrive both at home and at work.

ROLE OVERVIEW:   

The Chief of Staff to the CTO is a hybrid role: half deputy, half engineering leader. You will represent the CTO in meetings the CTO cannot attend, and you will directly manage the Solutions Engineering pod that carries our technical client work. 

This is not a note-taking job. When you sit in a client meeting with Microsoft, SAP or Cisco in place of the CTO, you are expected to answer technical questions, commit to scope, and be trusted to have made the right call. That means you need real engineering depth alongside the presence to hold a room of enterprise stakeholders. Inside the agency, you own delivery, hiring and headcount for the pod, and you bring the CTO a clear recommendation on the AI tooling our teams should be using. You will provide portfolio and progress updates on all technical projects and innovation initiatives to the executive leadership team. 

Responsibilities: 

• Stand in for the CTO: Attend internal leadership meetings, client calls and technical reviews on the CTO’s behalf. You will make decisions in the room within an agreed scope, record what was decided, and escalate only what truly needs the CTO.

• Manage the Solutions Engineering pod: You own the pod’s goals, delivery commitments and the growth of the people on it, and you step in when a client engagement is off track...
