Chief Technology Officer (CTO)
Phygital Group Inc.
About Phygital Group
Phygital Group is a full-service digital marketing and brand growth agency helping ambitious brands scale through smart strategy, content, paid media, and technology. We work with a portfolio of fast-moving clients across CPG, fashion, hospitality, and lifestyle — and we're building the internal tech infrastructure to match our ambition.
The Role
We're looking for a hands-on, entrepreneurially minded CTO to own everything technical at Phygital Group and help us grow it into a technology-forward agency. This isn't a purely managerial role — you'll be in the trenches building AI-powered tools, automating workflows, and turning ideas into shipped products. You'll also wear a business development hat, taking projects from concept to growth and helping identify where tech can unlock new revenue for the agency and its clients.
What You'll Do
AI & Product Development
- Design, build, and deploy internal AI tools using Claude (Anthropic), GPT, and other LLMs to automate agency workflows (reporting, content, client comms, ads management)
- Launch client-facing software products and AI-powered solutions from scratch
- Monitor, maintain, and iterate on deployed tools — catching issues before they become problems
- Stay ahead of the curve on emerging AI capabilities and bring relevant innovations to the team fast
Technology Leadership
- Define and own Phygital's tech stack, infrastructure, and development roadmap
- Evaluate and integrate third-party tools, APIs, and automation platforms (Make, Zapier, n8n, Meta APIs, etc.)
- Build internal dashboards, reporting tools, and performance tracking systems
- Establish best practices for security, scalability, and reliability across all systems
Business Development & Growth
- Collaborate with the CEO to identify new tech-driven service offerings and revenue streams
- Take ownership of tech-adjacent client projects end-to-end — from scoping to delivery to growth
- Help pitch and close clients by demonstrating the agency's technical edge
- Scale what's working: identify bottlenecks across the business and build systems that remove them
What We're Looking For
Must-Haves
- Proven experience building and launching software products (not just managing devs — you build)
- Deep, practical knowledge of AI tools — especially Claude/Anthropic, ChatGPT/OpenAI, and prompt engineering at a production level
- Comfort shipping fast: MVPs, iterations, and real-world deployments
- Experience integrating APIs, automations, and no-code/low-code platforms
- A business brain — you think about ROI, growth, and client impact, not just code quality
- Entrepreneurial mindset: self-directed, resourceful, and comfortable with ambiguity
Nice-to-Haves
- Background in a digital marketing or creative agency environment
- Experience with Meta Ads API, Google Ads API, or social media platform integrations
- Familiarity with data visualization and client-facing reporting tools
- Previous startup or multi-client environment experience
What You Get
- A seat at the table in a fast-scaling agency with equity potential discussed for the right candidate
- Direct access to and collaboration with the Founder & CEO
- Exposure across a diverse client portfolio and multiple portfolio ventures
- The freedom to build the tech function from the ground up — your way
- Hybrid/remote flexibility
