Classter is part of Banyan Software, a permanent-capital holder of vertical software businesses. Banyan backs its companies for the long term, with no exit clock and no pressure to optimize for a sale. You report to the CEO and sit on the leadership team. You lead six teams, each with an existing lead: Product Design & Analysis, Main Product Development, Mobile App and AI Features Development, Architecture and Integrations, Quality Assurance, and Technical Operations. You inherit a capable engineering organization with established leads, and strong product domain expertise. Your focus is direction and leadership.

Classter has a strong, feature-rich product and a solid engineering organization. The next phase is scale. It starts with a clear product vision and an ambitious roadmap, delivered through an AI-centric approach, a solid architecture, and a proactive motion that leverages Classter's proven, unique expertise. To match that ambition, we are creating a new seat. As CPTO you own Product and Engineering together. It is product-led, the center of gravity is product, and it is a real technology leadership seat, not a product role with engineering bolted on. You report directly to the CEO, work alongside your peers the COO and the head of Sales, and lead experienced Product and Engineering teams already in place
