• Lead and manage a team of engineers to deliver high quality software solutions that meet agreed timelines, standards, and business objectives.
• Set clear expectations, establish measurable goals, and actively drive a culture of accountability and high performance across the team.
• Provide coaching, feedback, and development opportunities to direct reports to build capability and career growth.
• Partner with Product Managers, Project Managers, and other Engineering Managers to align delivery priorities and manage dependencies.
• Oversee end-to-end delivery within the engineering function, from planning and estimation to release and post deployment support.
• Drive consistency in engineering practices, including code quality, architecture standards, and operational readiness.
• Identify, manage, and mitigate delivery risks across projects and teams.
• Contribute to workforce planning, recruitment, and onboarding to ensure optimal team structure and capability.
• Support the Head of Engineering and Team Leader in implementing engineering wide initiatives, metrics, and process improvements.

Besides the opportunity to work for a global company that is customer and people focused, we offer:

• A focus on learning and development
• A great team of like-minded professionals
• Private Healthcare
• Income Protection Scheme
• Pension
• Group Life Assurance
• Cycle to Work Scheme
• Electric Car Benefit Scheme
