Senior Software Development Manager
South East England | Hybrid
This isnt a role for a technical leader.
Its for someone who builds teams that deliver.
The Situation
Youll lead a 15-person software team working on complex C++ systems in RF and wireless communications.
The engineers are strong.
The challenge is structure, clarity, and consistent delivery within a global organisation.
This role exists to fix that.
What Youll Own
You wont be judged on code.
Youll be judged on whether the team:
Delivers consistently
Operates with clarity
Works effectively across an international structure
Your focus:
Bring structure and organisation to the team
Support engineers from graduate to architect
Remove friction with stakeholders across Europe
Create an environment where engineers perform at their best
What This Role Is Not
If you want to code this isnt your role.
If you lead through technical authority this isnt your role.
If you micro-manage this isnt your role.
What This Requires
Experience leading software engineering teams
Ability to bring order to complex environments
Comfortable influencing in a large, international organisation
Background in C++ systems or similar (but no longer hands-on)
The Environment
C++ systems software
High-performance, multi-threaded systems
Data processing / visualisation
RF and communications technology
Why This Role
Youll enjoy this if you care about:
Building effective teams
Creating clarity from ambiguity
Delivering through people, not code
