The Role Neominds is looking for a senior profile to support its clients as a CTO. You act as the CIO's technology right hand: you inform decisions, challenge directions, and translate business priorities into a concrete technology roadmap, help define the technology strategy, and ensure it is properly followed. You then support its implementation, alongside the client's internal teams and partners. Your scope varies by engagement: targeted diagnostics, architecture definition, technology governance, roadmap building, or ongoing support to an IT department. About Neominds Neominds is a Swiss IT strategy consulting firm that helps organizations connect strategy, technology, and execution to create measurable business value. We provide senior expertise in technology leadership, complex transformation programs, IT operations, and digital platforms.

Build and evolve roadmaps, with clear priorities, dependencies, milestones, and responsibilities. Structure technology governance and prepare investment decisions and trade-offs. Develop and challenge budgets, investment scenarios, and total cost of ownership. Oversee the technical consistency of execution, anticipate difficulties, and assess readiness for deployments and handover to operations. Integrate security and resilience requirements, in collaboration with the relevant leads. Assess AI use cases and emerging technologies in terms of business value, feasibility, and risk. Support teams and their managers, build their capabilities, and facilitate knowledge transfer. Depending on needs, you coordinate a CTO Office bringing together technical specialists, PMO skills, and project managers. You ensure the consistency of their contributions around the roadmap and objectives agreed with the client. What Success Looks Like Your success is measured by the clarity and relevance of technology decisions, a prioritized and shared roadmap, and sound management of risks, budgets, and milestones within your scope. It also translates into solutions that meet business needs, more autonomous teams, and a lasting relationship of trust with the CIOs you support. Objectives are defined for each engagement, based on the mandate, the resources deployed, and the responsibilities entrusted to you.
