About the Role

The Engineering Manager leads and develops engineering teams responsible for delivering high-quality outcomes on our B2B SaaS platform. Working closely with product, design, and engineering leadership, they turn priorities into clear delivery plans, support execution across product squads, and help teams ship valuable improvements through strong engineering practices.

This role focuses on people leadership, technical delivery, and team effectiveness. The Engineering Manager builds team capability and develops the engineering culture within their teams. They support architectural and solution-shaping decisions and foster a culture of ownership, accountability and continuous improvement.

As the team grows, they will also contribute to team structure, capacity planning, and hiring to support evolving product priorities.

Responsibilities:

Execution and Reliability

• Lead delivery of product initiatives across multiple engineering streams, with clear scope, priorities, milestones, and delivery dates.
• Partner with Product and Design to turn roadmaps into achievable engineering plans with defined outcomes and dependencies.
• Remove delivery blockers, coordinate dependencies, and keep stakeholders informed on progress, risks, and trade-offs.
• Ensure teams maintain a strong focus on delivery quality, predictable execution, and customer value.
• Support planning and execution across iterative releases, feature enhancements, and technical follow-up work.

Leadership & Growth

• Support capacity planning and resourcing across multiple engineering streams to meet delivery needs.
• Identify hiring needs with engineering leadership and contribute to role definition and recruitment.
• Balance feature delivery, maintenance, and technical investment against team capacity and priorities.
• Coach engineers in reliability engineering practices to improve operational performance and resilience.
• Set clear standards for operational excellence to improve consistency and accountability.
• Build a culture of ownership, calm under pressure, and blameless learning.

Engineering Excellence

• Promote strong engineering practices that improve maintainability, code quality, and sustainable delivery.
• Work with engineering peers to improve planning accuracy, estimation quality, and execution discipline.
• Encourage practical adoption of AI-enabled tools and agentic workflows to reduce manual effort and improve delivery efficiency.
• Support a pragmatic approach to technical debt, balancing short-term delivery with long-term maintainability.
• Partner with teams to improve development flow, release confidence, and operational handover where relevant.
• Encourage responsible and effective use of AI in engineering workflows, with clear attention to quality, safety, and judgement in how it is applied.

Qualifications

• A relevant tertiary qualification in Computer Science, IT, Engineering, or proven relevant experience.

Required Skills

• Strong people leadership skills with the ability to coach, support, and develop engineers at mid-to-senior levels.
• Demonstrated ability to lead delivery across multiple engineering streams or product areas with clear accountability for outcomes.
• Strong collaboration and communication skills with Product, Design, and leadership stakeholders.
• Strong technical fluency with the ability to apply sound judgement across the SDLC, from planning and design through delivery, release, and ongoing improvement.
• Ability to manage priorities, trade-offs, and competing demands in a fast-moving product environment.
• Expert judgement in balancing delivery, quality, and longer-term technical considerations.
• Ability to drive clarity in ambiguous situations and keep teams aligned on outcomes.
• Practical use of AI-enabled engineering practices, agentic tooling, and workflow automation opportunities.

Preferred Skills

• 3+ years of professional management experience in software engineering or product engineering.
• 5+ years of professional experience in software engineering, product delivery, or a related technical role.
• Proven examples of leading multiple engineering teams, product areas, or workstreams with clear accountability for outcomes.
• Experience supporting capacity planning, team development, and hiring processes.
• Proven ability to work cross-functionally and communicate across Product, Design, and business stakeholders.
• Experience supporting teams through change, growth, or evolving priorities.
• Practical experience with AI tools, workflow automation, or agentic systems, with the ability to identify opportunities to simplify, automate, or augment engineering workflows.
