Chief Technology Officer (Cto) - Thrasher Companies

Chief Technology Officer

Thrasher Companies: Thrasher Foundation Repair/Thrasher Partners/Supportworks

The Opportunity

We are looking for a Chief Technology Officer (CTO) who approaches technology as a means to solve real business problems, not as an end in itself. This role is for a business-minded technologist who can step into a complex, multi-entity organization and design the systems, structure, and strategy that will support our next phase of growth.

The right candidate has experience building or transforming technology organizations, not just operating within them. They are equally comfortable thinking at the enterprise level and working alongside operators to understand how work actually gets done. They can lead across infrastructure, engineering, and data without bias, and bring strong judgment in balancing speed, cost, and scalability.

This is a role for someone who can move fluidly between strategy and execution, setting direction while staying close enough to the work to ensure it delivers real impact.

Location - This position is based in Omaha, NE and requires in-office presence as we deeply value the collaboration, innovation, and culture that stem from working together.

Why Join Our Team

This is an opportunity to build on the technology function for a suite of companies entering their next phase of growth.

We're not looking for someone to simply agree with our approach. We're looking for a leader who will build on what we've started, challenge it where needed, and create a clear roadmap to help us scale.

We are committed to remaining privately held, which allows us to take a long-term view - investing in our people, our systems, and our customers without the pressure of short-term market demands. We prioritize building a durable business with strong culture, high integrity, and lasting impact.

If you're motivated by shaping systems, partnering with operators, and building for the long term, we'd welcome the conversation.
