They're looking for an Engineering Manager to lead and support multiple development teams, with a strong focus on people, delivery health, and stakeholder alignment. This role isn't about being the most hands-on coder, it's about creating the right environment for engineers to do their best work.

* Own delivery health, sprint planning, capacity, and sustainable ways of working
* Act as the main point of contact for delivery updates, risks, and dependencies
* Partner with Tech Leads on resourcing, standards, and ways of working
* Support hiring and team growth as the organisation scales
About You
* Background in managing software engineering teams
* Strong background as a software engineer with solid technical fundamentals
* Comfortable having honest performance and feedback conversations
* Experience working in Agile environments (Scrum / Kanban)
* Confident working with stakeholders and balancing delivery trade-offs
* A people-first leader who cares about team health as much as outcomes
Nice to Have
* Experience in regulated environments (financial services, legal, property, etc.)
* Exposure to platform, DevOps, or reliability-focused teams
* Background working alongside distributed or multi-team setups
* Engineering or computer science degree (or equivalent experience)
Why Join?
* Opportunity to shape engineering culture and team growth
* Work closely with experienced Tech Leads and product partners
* Hybrid working with UK office options
* Supportive, people-focused leadership environment
* Long-term role in a scaling, product-led business
