Your Role.
As a Technology Director at Fantasy, you are part of the technology leadership team and serve as a senior client-facing leader who ensures Fantasy’s technical vision is realized across engagements. You’ll be responsible for leading client relationships, driving solution strategy, and ensuring that Fantasy’s work delivers both creative and technical excellence.

The Technology Director works closely with engineers, designers, and strategists to prototype, architect, and build alongside their teams. You’ll set the example for quality, innovation, and collaboration, ensuring Fantasy’s technology is as inspiring in execution as it is in concept.
You will also play a pivotal role in representing technology externally by owning client partnerships, shaping proposals, scoping opportunities, and contributing to the pre-sales architecture of new business initiatives. Internally, you’ll help shape Fantasy’s technology approach and ensure our craft continues to evolve through collaboration and experimentation.

• Lead technology strategy and delivery across client engagements, ensuring high-quality execution from discovery through launch.
• Serve as a trusted technology partner to clients, translating business and creative goals into clear, actionable technical solutions.
• Partner with design, strategy, and production teams to shape technical direction and ensure technology meaningfully supports the product vision.
• Contribute hands-on through prototyping, architecture, and production work—leading by example and pushing creative and technical boundaries.
• Define and evolve technical architectures that balance innovation, scalability, performance, and feasibility.
• Support pre-sales and scoping efforts by estimating effort, defining technical approaches, and contributing to proposals and client presentations.
• Evaluate and explore emerging technologies to inspire experimentation, inform future work, and advance Fantasy’s technical practice.
• Represent the technology practice in workshops, pitches, and project reviews, providing clarity, insight, and strategic guidance.
• Mentor and collaborate with fellow technologists to promote growth, consistency, and knowledge sharing across teams.
• Partner with business development and leadership to identify new opportunities and articulate Fantasy’s technology value proposition.
