About the role
- We are hiring a Field CTO to serve as the most senior technology voice to our largest customers, prospects, and the market.
- The Field CTO is a C-suite-caliber technology executive who operates as a peer to the CIOs, CTOs, and CDOs of our Fortune 500 customers and a credible presence in their boardrooms.
- You are not a pre-sales architect with a bigger title.
Responsibilities
- Build alignment across business and technology stakeholders so organizations can make complex transformation decisions with confidence.
- Partner with Sales leadership on Workato's largest, most strategic, and most complex enterprise pursuits.
- Lead executive briefings, advisory councils, strategic visioning sessions, and architecture reviews that shape multi-year transformation roadmaps.
Requirements
- You are a rare profile: an enterprise operator with genuine commercial range.
Nice to have
- executive-level experience at an enterprise software vendor selling into the Fortune 500 (iPaaS, AI/ML, cloud platforms, data, ERP, or adjacent infrastructure).
- 15+ years of senior technology leadership, including 5+ years at the C-suite or equivalent executive level.
- Demonstrated success leading large-scale digital transformation with measurable business outcomes.
- A compelling storyteller and communicator, with executive presence proven through Board work, public speaking, analyst engagement, media, or published thought leadership.
- Comfortable operating in ambiguity, influencing without formal authority, navigating matrixed organizations, and moving at the pace of a high-growth platform company.
- Approximately 60% travel to customer sites, executive briefing centers, industry events, and Workato headquarters.
- Commercial experience on either side of the table.
- Strongly preferred: executive-level experience at an enterprise software vendor selling into the Fortune 500 (iPaaS, AI/ML, cloud platforms, data, ERP, or adjacent infrastructure).
