    Chief Technical Officer role & responsibilities

    Skills requirements of a Chief Technical Officer
    Not every Chief Technology Officer will have the same skills. A lack of
    experience in the role is sometimes unavoidable. We’ve compiled the top skills
    to watch out for in the CTO role.
    Technical domain knowledge – In the tech realm, previous experience and
    strong knowledge of the industry is vital. Sometimes a CTO can learn along the
    way, in tech, it’s a little more complicated. A CTO that is constantly staying on
    top of the latest trends is a good bet.
    Strategy – An effective CTO can usually draw on experience and foresee a path
    to success through devising a digital strategy.
    Product management – Technology and product often go hand-in-hand in the
    tech space. A top CTO should understand the product life-cycle and how to
    build new products and maintain existing ones.
    Business tech savvy – A CTO with a sense of business prowess is always an
    advantage to help with end-user requirements. For a lot of companies, this can
    encapsulate the role of a CTO — CRM and ERP implementation and supporting
    international teams with tech issues.
    People & negotiation skills and mentoring – For their departments to run
    effectively, the CTO should know their employees’ strengths and weaknesses
    and how to get the best out of the. The ability to inspire people and persuade
    them that your vision is realistic both have their advantages. A good CTO
    should be someone worth looking up to.
    Engineering – The CTO should have some technical background. Is the CTO
    focusing their time to produce software or platforms? In some companies, the
    technical aspect is a large part of the role. Over time, this can decrease and
    sometimes the CTO isn’t required to code at all.
    Data security and compliance – Will your CTO be required to optimize and
    manage organizational data? In other industries, security and compliance
    usually take a much higher priority. Understanding enterprise risk and standards
    can be painful but extremely valuable knowledge.
