You’ll work with senior stakeholders, customers, and technical teams, helping turn complex requirements into practical solutions while contributing to the development of the wider organisation.

• Help improve the way technical projects are planned, delivered, and supported.
• Develop and mentor engineers and other technical professionals.
• Work with senior leadership to identify opportunities to improve the technology organisation.
• Build trusted relationships with important customers and external stakeholders.
• Help resolve difficult technical issues and ensure the right people are involved.
• Contribute to decisions around technology, product direction, and future capabilities.
• Introduce practical processes and standards as the business continues to grow.

What We’re Looking For

• Strong background in software engineering or another relevant technical discipline.
• Experience working at a senior level within a technology company.
• A track record of solving complex technical problems in real-world environments.
• Comfortable communicating with engineers, executives, customers, and commercial teams.
• Experience working in a startup, scale-up, or similarly entrepreneurial environment.
• Some experience managing, mentoring, or developing technical talent.
• Commercial awareness and an ability to understand the wider business context.
• Strong communication and stakeholder-management skills.
• Comfortable operating with a high degree of autonomy.
• Based in London or able to work regularly from London.
• Curious about new technology and particularly interested in the development and practical application of AI.
