We're looking for an experienced Engineering Manager to oversee the technical migration of a Product Information Management (PIM) system — namely STIBO STEP — from an on-premise setup to a SaaS solution. This role requires close collaboration with internal product and engineering teams, as well as with external partners.
Architecture & Technical Leadership
* Lead the end-to-end design and execution of migrating STIBO STEP from on-premise to SaaS, ensuring data integrity, robust governance, and minimal business disruption.
* Develop integration patterns tailored to STIBO's SaaS architecture, working closely with their third-party implementation and support teams.
* Shape the technical landscape with a modern microservices and event-driven architecture approach.
* Drive the adoption of best practices, shared platforms, and sustainable methodologies to deliver high-quality software.
Stakeholder & Communication Management
* Translate complex technical details into clear, business-friendly insights for non-technical stakeholders, senior leaders, and product owners.
* Serve as the key liaison between internal product and engineering teams and STIBO's vendor ecosystem — aligning on interfaces, customisation, and roadmap integration.
* Communicate risks, trade-offs, and delivery timelines transparently and proactively.
Product Lifecycle & Team Leadership
* Manage engineering teams through the full product lifecycle, from discovery and design to implementation, testing, and rollout — ensuring operational stability of delivered solutions.
* Provide hands-on technical guidance, support team planning, and facilitate delivery ceremonies.
* Champion engineering best practices across development, testing, observability, and operational support. Raise the team's maturity and drive progress towards or maintain Elite DORA standards.
* Build, mentor, and manage a high-performing software engineering team. Foster a culture of collaboration, innovation, and continuous improvement, while overseeing budgets, resources, and workload distribution.
Requirements
