About ASMALLWORLD

ASMALLWORLD (SIX: ASWN) is a Swiss-listed luxury travel and lifestyle membership company with over 120,000 members globally. We connect a curated community of discerning travellers with exclusive benefits, private experiences, and world-class concierge services. We're in an active growth phase - membership up 38% in 2025 - and are building the technology infrastructure to match.

The Role

We're looking for a commercially minded, hands-on CTO to own the tech vision and delivery for ASMALLWORLD. This is a senior leadership role reporting directly to the CEO, with full responsibility for product engineering, infrastructure, and the product roadmap.

You'll be joining at a pivotal moment: we've recently restructured the technology organisation and are investing in a modern, leaner stack. The priorities are clear - CRM activation, personalisation at scale, and building the backend infrastructure that enables and continues to accelerate the growth in our membership and travel businesses.

This is a role for a strategic thinker, a visionary, but also someone who relishes rolling up their sleeves to quickly build and test the next innovation to delight our members and drive our business forward.

What You'll Own

Tech strategy and roadmap, aligned to commercial priorities.
End-to-end engineering planning and delivery: product, platform, and infrastructure.
CRM and marketing technology stack (both internal and third party platforms).
Data architecture, member, and business analytics capabilities.
Vendor and partner management, including third-party integrations (hotel and airline loyalty programmes, financial institutions and other partners).
Hiring and development of a small, high-performing engineering team.
Security, compliance, and data governance (within the Swiss and EU regulatory context).

What We're Looking For

Proven experience as a CTO or senior engineering leader in a consumer-facing digital business, ideally in travel, luxury, or memberships/subscriptions.
At least 6 years experience leading high performing tech teams.
Strong full-stack technical foundation - you can write and review code, make architecture decisions, and hold engineers accountable.
Experience owning CRM or marketing technology systems, both proprietary and third party (ideally Salesforce).
Commercial acumen - you understand the importance of the customer journey (both digital and digitally-enabled), sales and marketing conversion funnels, and can connect technical decisions to business outcomes and quickly test and iterate solutions.
Proven experience identifying and delivering AI and automation projects delivering transformational business change.
Comfortable in a lean, high-ownership, fast-paced environment.
High level of integrity and humility.
Experience with and passion for collaborating with, influencing, and learning from peers.
Fluent in English; German is a plus.

What we offer

A competitive compensation package and flexible/hybrid working (candidate location dependent).
Beyond the numbers, you'll join a team that is genuinely passionate about luxury travel and enjoys a range of travel benefits and exclusive perks (from 50% off rates at ~1,000 hotels around the world, to car rental upgrades, and beyond).
The chance to own the tech vision driving ASMALLWORLD's next chapter of growth.
