* Driving high standards across security, performance, reliability, and compliance
What We’re Looking For:
* Proven experience leading engineering teams at scale in a SaaS environment

* Experience scaling complex platforms, ideally in finance, ERP, or regulated domains
* Commercial mindset- understands how engineering/product impacts customer base, revenue growth and ensures they can compete in the market
* Confident stakeholder manager who can challenge constructively
* Experience with finance platforms, transactional systems, analytics, or ERP-style products is highly desirable.
Package:
* Salary: up to £140,000
* Bonus: Performance based- 35%
* Private healthcare + strong benefits package
