About the Role
As an Engineering Manager, you will own the health, delivery, and direction of several product engineering teams and their Team Leads. You will act as a product partner, ensuring teams build features and propositions that unlock new commercial revenue streams, attract new customers, and grow revenue from existing ones. Your role involves ensuring architectural soundness, scalability, and longevity of the built systems, while also influencing product, commercial, and engineering decisions. Success is measured by the development of Team Leads into confident, self-directing managers.
Responsibilities
- Partner closely with Product and wider stakeholders to identify and deliver features and propositions that unlock new commercial revenue streams and deepen revenue from existing customers.
- Shape the 3 to 12 month roadmap, framing technical investment in terms of commercial impact, customer value, and risk.
- Champion the customer in every roadmap discussion and measure projects by how well they solve real customer problems.
- Influence the architectural direction of your teams’ systems, ensuring technical choices are scalable, resilient, cost-effective, and sustainable.
- Work with technical leaders to set standards, reduce complexity, and steer teams away from over-engineered solutions.
- Make sound build versus buy and technical debt trade-offs, and balance them against product needs.
- Lead, coach, and develop Team Leads, helping them manage and grow their own direct reports.
- Own predictable, iterative, and sustainable delivery of quarterly objectives across your teams.
- Address underperformance decisively and support Team Leads through complex people situations with integrity and clarity.
- Identify and mitigate risks 3 to 6 months out, including dependencies and resource gaps.
- Contribute to wider company initiatives such as recruitment strategy and organisational design.
Requirements
- Strong product and commercial instincts, with a track record of delivering features or propositions that generated new revenue or grew revenue from existing customers.
- A genuinely customer-focused, commercially aware, and data-informed approach to decision-making.
- Demonstrable strength in software architecture and system design: ability to set direction, challenge designs, and weigh trade-offs across scalability, cost, and maintainability.
- Proven experience managing managers or Team Leads, and growing them into senior leaders.
- A strong people-management track record, including hiring, development, and performance management.
- A solid technical background and an understanding of how full-stack teams and codebases work.
- A record of leading and delivering complex, cross-team projects.
- Excellent communication: concise, clear, and adaptable to audiences from engineers to senior leadership.
- Calm, stabilising leadership through ambiguity and fast organisational growth.
- Experience in a scaling, regulated, fintech, or tech-enabled environment is a plus.
