Chief Information Officer

At Celigo, we believe integration should empower — not exhaust — innovation. As a modern Integration and Automation Platform (iPaaS), we’re on a mission to simplify how companies integrate, automate, and optimize processes. Powered by game-changing technology like runtime AI and prebuilt, mission-critical integrations, Celigo is redefining how businesses connect their world.

Celigo is seeking a customer- and market-facing Chief Information Officer (CIO) to serve as a senior GTM leader, industry evangelist, and strategic advisor to customers, prospects, partners, and analysts. This role is outbound by design, focused on storytelling, thought leadership, and influencing buying decisions—rather than owning internal IT operations.

As CIO, you will represent the voice of the modern enterprise technology leader, shaping Celigo’s narrative in the market and helping customers understand how integration, automation, and data drive scalable growth. This role expects you to be onsite 2-3 days per week.

Market & Thought Leadership

• Act as a public-facing CIO ambassador for Celigo, delivering keynote presentations, conference talks, webinars, and executive briefings.
• Build Celigo’s credibility with CIOs, CISOs, CFOs, and enterprise architects through thought leadership on integration, SaaS ecosystems, data strategy, and digital transformation.
• Engage with industry analysts, media, and influencers to shape Celigo’s category leadership and messaging.

Go-To-Market Leadership

• Serve as a strategic partner to Sales, Marketing, Customer Success, and Alliances teams in enterprise and strategic deal cycles.
• Participate in executive-level customer conversations to articulate the business value of integration and automation, not just technical benefits.
• Influence GTM strategy, vertical positioning, and solution packaging by bringing real-world CIO perspectives into product and marketing decisions.
• Advise customers on systems architecture, data strategy, governance, and SaaS optimization in high-growth and enterprise environments.
• Build trusted relationships with systems integrators, ISVs, and technology partners across the SaaS ecosystem (ERP, CRM, data, eCommerce, HRIS).
• Translate customer and partner insights into actionable feedback for product, engineering, and leadership teams.

Strategic Perspective

• Contribute to Celigo’s long-term vision by identifying emerging technology trends, integration challenges, and enterprise priorities.
• Help foster a data-driven mindset across customer conversations, emphasizing governance, analytics, and operational scalability.
• Lead high-performing global and regional IT teams, ensuring dual-reporting alignment to both local business needs and global standards.
• Foster a collaborative, innovative, and accountable IT culture, aligned with the principles of agility, transparency, and trust.
• Champion career development, training, and retention initiatives for critical talent across all regions.

Skills & Abilities

• Proven ability to communicate complex technical concepts in a clear, compelling, executive-friendly way.
• Strong presence as a speaker and presenter—comfortable addressing both technical and business audiences.
• Collaborative, high-ownership leadership style with the ability to influence without direct authority.
• Willingness to travel for conferences, customer meetings, and partner events as needed.

Education & Experience

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or a related field (advanced degree a plus).
• 15+ years of progressive technology leadership experience, ideally including time as a CIO, VP of IT, or equivalent senior enterprise role.
• Deep experience in SaaS ecosystems and enterprise systems, such as ERP (Net Suite), CRM (Salesforce/CPQ), data platforms (Snowflake), analytics, PRM, and HRIS.
• Experience working in or with high-growth SaaS companies.
