Engineering Manager – RegTech

Responsibilities

• Own the Projects stream end to end — delivery oversight, team health, intake management, and capacity planning across all pods
• Act as the primary interface between the Projects stream and the Product Team
• Build and maintain a clear view of team capacity and project timelines, making this visible to stakeholders
• Sequence and allocate work across pods as projects complete and new ones begin, matching the right pod to the right engagement
• Line manage senior engineers acting as pod leads, providing regular 1:1s, feedback, and support for their professional development
• Define and embed clear progression pathways within the Projects stream, supporting engineers at every level from graduate to senior
• Foster a strong team culture across pods, ensuring engineers feel connected to the wider Projects mission and not siloed within their individual project
• Work with the broader engineering leadership team across all streams on cross-team initiatives, resourcing, and team-wide improvements
• Establish and maintain a lightweight intake process for new project requests
• Adapt delivery methodologies to the nature of each project
• Identify and address delivery risks early, escalating where appropriate and removing blockers for pod leads
• Collaborate with the Engineering Manager and other stream leads on resourcing, hiring, and team strategy

Requirements

• Proven experience leading and managing teams of senior software engineers, with a track record of growing and developing engineering talent
• Strong stakeholder management skills — comfortable challenging scope, managing expectations, and representing engineering interests with product, commercial, and client-facing teams
• Experience managing concurrent delivery across multiple workstreams or projects simultaneously
• Technical credibility — enough engineering background to be respected by senior engineers, review technical decisions, and understand delivery risk
• Experience building or improving engineering processes in fast-moving environments where structure has been lacking
• Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, with the ability to present clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences
• Experience in a client-facing or professional services delivery environment
• Familiarity with regulatory technology, financial services, or data-heavy engineering domains
• Experience with GitLab or similar tools for project and delivery tracking
• Background as a software engineer, ideally with Python experience
• Familiarity with a range of delivery methodologies — kanban, scrum, and ad hoc project structures
