Joining our team as a Senior Engineering Manager places you at the forefront of advancing our technical excellence and innovation. You will be part of a knowledgeable team of leaders representing various technical areas. Your closest collaborator will be the product manager supervising the same teams, and you will report directly to one of our VPs of Engineering.
You're responsible for delivery and outcomes across multiple engineering teams. You foster the environment in which engineers perform at their best and grow both as individuals and as a team. You do so by making sure each team member is clear on what we expect and how they can grow, by making sure our processes are helping rather than standing in the way, and by working with all engineers ensuring we are building high-quality software.
You will thrive in this role if you:
Have a passion for people management. You work to see your team and individuals growing and shipping great software.
You like to work with cross-functional teams and other stakeholders to align engineering functions with product & business direction and goals. You think like a technologist in the core and optimize for both customers and the business.
Enjoy design and optimization of teams and processes to maximize their efficiency. You are comfortable stepping into technical discussions or taking important stakeholder meetings to remove roadblocks allowing the team to move forward.
You are a strong communicator, with both technical and commercial stakeholders.
You're a technologist at heart. We work in cross-functional teams in product and engineering: each team is made up of co-founders from product and engineering - and joined by designers, coders, and maybe even some people from commercial.
What this Role entails:
Work closely with the (Group) Product Manager and set a vision and direction for the team or group of product teams.
Directly manage Engineers (and Tech Leads) and oversee a group of ~6-15 engineers.
Drive a customer-centric & solution-oriented mindset.
Continuously improve the environment and processes for how we build our product.
Align technology direction within your area, with other areas as well as with the overall technology direction of the company.
Represent engineering in key initiatives and projects within the department or across the company and ensure they get delivered.
Design the organization, and objectives and hold a high standard in people, delivery, and technology.
Show me the benefits! Your own Pleo card (no more out-of-pocket spending!)
Lunch is on us - with catering in our Lisbon, Copenhagen and London offices or a monthly lunch allowance paid directly together with your salary in other markets.
Private health insurance to ensure you're fit in body and mind to do your best work.
We offer 25 days of holiday + your public holidays.
Flexibility/remote working options.
Option to purchase 5 additional days of holiday through a salary sacrifice.
We're trialling MyndUp to give our employees access to free mental health and wellbeing support with great success so far.
Access to LinkedIn Learning - acquire new skills, stay abreast of industry trends and fuel your personal and professional development continuously.
Paid parental leave - we want to make sure that we're supportive of families and help you feel that you don't have to compromise your family due to work.
