  • Drive engineering KPIs focused on quality, velocity, stability and customer impact.
Collaboration & Executive Influence
  • Work closely with the Chief Architect to ensure architectural vision is effectively implemented.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with Product, Operations and Commercial teams.
  • Translate complex technical strategy into clear business language for executive stakeholders.
  • Constructively challenge senior leaders where appropriate to ensure optimal outcomes.

  • Significant senior leadership experience leading multi-disciplinary engineering teams (circa 20+).
  • Proven ability to build, inspire and scale high-performing teams.
  • Strong commercial acumen with experience aligning technology to business growth.
