Technology Director

Profile

Critical Mass is looking for a Technology Director to join the technology team for BMW USA. You’ll partner closely with our creative, strategy, and marketing science leads to create amazing work for one of the world’s premier automotive brands. Ideal candidates will have automotive category experience, but more importantly a passion for bringing the best of what’s possible to engaging, effective user experiences. There’s a lot of opportunity on the account, so you'll work with other Technology Directors and our EVP Technology to capitalize on those opportunities.
This role will oversee large initiatives – both expanding existing functionality and introducing net-new features to the platform. Someone with high proficiency in building best-in-class experiences on top of an enterprise content management system will thrive. You’ll still be close to the code at times - defining the architecture, creating POCs, performing code reviews, etc., but you’ll also have an incredibly talented tech team with all the skills necessary to create and deliver the digital experience.
This position can be done remotely depending on location, within Canada and the US.
