GRS Recruitment is partnering with an innovative organisation in Limassol to appoint a Director of Technology to lead a complex, business-critical technology agenda. This role goes beyond oversight. You will take ownership of delivery, drive alignment between Product and Engineering, and establish the structure, standards, and operating rhythm needed to scale effectively. With a three-year platform delivery roadmap, an expanding ODC, and legacy systems to transition, you will be at the centre of both challenge and opportunity.

If you are a hands-on technology leader who thrives in fast-moving environments and knows how to turn strategy into tangible outcomes, this is your opportunity to shape a modern, scalable technology function from the ground up.
