We’re partnering with a high-impact organisation going through a significant engineering transformation, and they’re hiring a Head of Engineering to play a key role in shaping what comes next.
This isn’t a maintenance role.
This is about owning platforms, building high-performing teams, and driving engineering standards at scale.
The Opportunity
You’ll take ownership of a critical product/platform made up of multiple services, leading both delivery and direction.
You’ll work closely with Product to define the roadmap, while building and leading a team of Engineering Managers and senior engineers.
At the same time, you’ll operate at a broader level, helping shape engineering strategy, architecture, and ways of working across the organisation.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Own end-to-end delivery across a complex product or platform
- Partner with Product to define roadmap, priorities, and long-term strategy
- Build and lead a team of Engineering Managers and senior engineers
- Drive engineering standards across architecture, quality, SRE, and security
- Improve deployment, monitoring, and incident response practices
- Influence wider engineering strategy, tooling, and platform direction
- Coach and develop engineering leaders and teams
- Use data and metrics to continuously improve performance and outcomes
- Manage stakeholders and drive alignment across the business
What They’re Looking For
- Proven experience leading engineering teams at scale (ideally managing managers)
- Strong background owning platforms or complex distributed systems
- Comfortable operating across strategy and execution
- Experience driving engineering excellence across teams (delivery, quality, reliability)
- Strong stakeholder management and communication skills
- A leader who can build teams, raise the bar, and drive momentum
Why This Role
- Strong influence across engineering strategy and direction
- Opportunity to build and scale teams that actually move the needle
- A business investing heavily in engineering and platform capability
- Flexible, remote-first working across the UK
If you’re a current Head of Engineering, Engineering Manager, or Director-level leader looking for a role where you can genuinely influence direction and build something meaningful, let’s talk.
