CTO

Since selling our first timepiece in 2011, Daniel Wellington has evolved into a global phenomenon that has disrupted an entire industry. We are an exciting, vibrant, and innovative brand that challenges old conventions - continuously striving to enrich our customers' style through timeless pieces.

Our brand-new CTO will get complete ownership of the enterprise-wide technology needs at DW. Wow, right? And guess what, we really mean ownership. This means you will be the main person of our tech operations, and strategy, to support our mission in becoming a world-leading accessory brand from a technical standpoint. We are proud of how we have built our company with tech solutions in mind, but we know that for us to succeed we need to stick to our tradition of being pioneers. You will, together with the executive team, drive the company’s strategy into the future. We expect you to have a big impact through bringing your knowledge and future vision to leverage information and technology in business model design, business processes, and operational improvements. Through your passion for leadership and the field you are in, you will influence your peers, your teams, and other departments to find new ways of working.
