The Role

A CTO at Big Lots owns Strategic Planning end to end, answers for it, and gets the credit too, all from Fresno, CA. Everything here scales with you — $255,000 - $516,000 at 17 years, general ownership soon after, and a Big Lots ladder above.

Key Responsibilities

  • Read a Strategic Planning system you didn't build and improve it anyway
  • Document the why, not just the what, behind every Persuasion decision
  • Follow safety protocols and best practices at all times
  • Keep Strategic Planning documentation current as the work outpaces it
  • Prepare reports, summaries, and presentations for review by leadership
  • Spot the Fresno pattern in feedback before it becomes a complaint
  • Deliver thoughtfully-bold results that align with broader business objectives

What You'll Bring

  • 15 years that taught you which corners can be cut
  • Proven leadership experience guiding c-level-level initiatives
  • Equal parts Collaboration depth and Persuasion curiosity
  • The kind of curiosity that reads the docs before asking
  • Flexibility to adapt your approach as business needs evolve
  • Self-direction that survives a quiet Slack channel

With roots in Fresno, CA and an empathy-led outlook, Big Lots delivers software that scales with our customers. Disagreement is welcome here, but once we decide, the whole Big Lots team rows in the same direction.

The offer is plainspoken: $255,000 - $516,000, coaching that grows you, benefits that cover you, and a schedule that flexes with Fresno.

Applications are flowing in for this general role, and we are reviewing each one promptly.

The CTO position won't stay open forever, so make your move while it's live.
