We are hiring a Chief Technology Officer (CTO).

We are Team clixifix® and we are definitely a little bit different (good different). Hopefully, so are you.

clixifix is one of the fastest growing property technology start-ups in the UK, and our mission is to simplify customer care software in the construction sector.

This is an opportunity to join a Venture Capital backed company executing on an ambitious growth plan in the Proptech and Contech SaaS space, that has seen 100% sales growth year on year.

The successful individual will be joining a highly successful and ambitious senior leadership team who have disrupted their sector and achieved rapid growth. 

Following recent investment, growth plans for the business are significant and the CTO position is being created to ensure that our technology strategy is capable of supporting and accelerating our growth.

Our people are our most valuable assets and we work hard to make sure every employee is given the freedom, tools and support to do their best every day.
