About The Position

We are looking for a Chief Technology Officer (CTO) who approaches technology as a means to solve real business problems, not as an end in itself. This role is for a business-minded technologist who can step into a complex, multi-entity organization and design the systems, structure, and strategy that will support our next phase of growth. The right candidate has experience building or transforming technology organizations, not just operating within them. They are equally comfortable thinking at the enterprise level and working alongside operators to understand how work actually gets done. They can lead across infrastructure, engineering, and data without bias, and bring strong judgment in balancing speed, cost, and scalability. This is a role for someone who can move fluidly between strategy and execution, setting direction while staying close enough to the work to ensure it delivers real impact. This position is based in Omaha, NE and requires in-office presence as we deeply value the collaboration, innovation, and culture that stem from working together.
