We’re hiring an Engineering Director to take ownership of day‑to‑day technical operations and the successful deployment of new products across the business.
Reporting to the CTO, you’ll effectively take on a portion of the CTO’s ongoing operational responsibilities, freeing them up to focus on new product development and strategic customer relationships. This is a hands‑on leadership role for someone who can bring structure, pace, and reliability to engineering delivery.
What you’ll be responsible for
Own the day‑to‑day running of engineering: delivery cadence, prioritisation, incident/issue management, and operational decision‑making.
Lead new product deployments end‑to‑end: release planning, readiness, coordination, and post‑release follow‑through.
Translate CTO direction into clear execution plans and keep teams aligned to timelines and outcomes.
Strengthen engineering ways of working: planning rituals, documentation, change control, and continuous improvement.
Ensure engineering teams deliver with high standards across quality, security, performance, and reliability.
Partner closely with Product and other stakeholders to balance speed vs. risk and keep delivery predictable.
Build a culture of accountability, clarity, and pragmatic problem‑solving.
What we’re looking for
Proven experience leading engineering teams as an Engineering Director / Head of Engineering / Senior Engineering Manager (or similar).
Strong track record of owning technical operations and improving delivery reliability.
Demonstrated experience managing release/deployment processes and driving smooth product rollouts.
Comfortable acting as the CTO’s operational counterpart: you can make decisions, unblock teams, and keep execution moving.
Excellent stakeholder management—able to communicate clearly with technical and non‑technical audiences.
A practical leadership style: you bring structure without bureaucracy.
Why this role
High‑impact leadership role with real ownership.
Direct partnership with the CTO and influence over how engineering operates day‑to‑day.
Opportunity to improve delivery, deployment, and operational excellence across the organisation.
