Chief Technology Officer

Job Description:

Cable One is seeking a Chief Technology Officer (CTO) to elevate the performance and future readiness of our network. This leader will set the technology direction for the company, strengthen operational execution, and accelerate innovation to ensure consistent, high-quality service delivery across our footprint.

This leader will establish a roadmap for next-generation architecture that thoughtfully balances innovation, scalability, and cost discipline across a complex, multi-technology environment.

The CTO will also play a critical role in evaluating and advancing key technology platforms, including fiber and HFC (DOCSIS 3.1/4.0), while leading IT and cybersecurity as part of the company’s broader transformation. Success in this role will translate into a more resilient, efficient, and differentiated network—strengthening Cable One’s position in increasingly competitive broadband markets.

Direct reports to the CTO include leaders responsible for Information Technology, Cybersecurity, Network/Plant Engineering, Construction and Procurement/Supply Chain.
