Cambridge, United Kingdom CV-Library Full time

Empowering engineers, transforming financial technology

An innovative and highly competitive FinTech, this company is growing and seeking their first Head of Software Engineering. This is a strategic leadership role focused on building, managing, and inspiring a high-performing engineering team. This position is critical in driving operational excellence, fostering team development, and ensuring software engineering function aligns seamlessly with the broader business objectives.

They are seeking a compassionate, strategic leader who understands that exceptional teams are built through support, clear communication, and genuine investment in individual potential. Their organisation values collaboration, continuous learning, and a progressive approach to team management.

While the emphasis on this role is team management, suitable candidates will have a strong software background. Direct experience in finance is not necessary, but experience in an environment where software mistakes have real costs, such as healthcare or aerospace, is required.

The successful candidate will be responsible for developing and implementing team strategies, managing performance, and creating a supportive, collaborative work environment. They will also establish robust operational processes that enable the engineering team to deliver consistently high-quality outcomes.

Another top job from ECM, the high-tech recruitment experts.
