* Cross-Functional Engagement: Collaborate with internal teams to address customer-reported issues and support sales, pre-sales, and customer success efforts.

* Strategic Integration: Work with other Engineering leaders to drive best practices, share components, and integrate products across the organisation.

Key Skills & Experience

* Proven Leadership: Demonstrable experience managing and motivating engineering teams, with the ability to mentor and develop future leaders.

* Technical Expertise: Strong technical background in Java, with experience in cloud platforms such as AWS or Azure. Knowledge of JavaScript is also beneficial.

* Sector Knowledge: Familiarity with delivering mission-critical, high-volume, near real-time systems for financial services clients.

* Roadmap Delivery: Experience translating competing priorities into actionable roadmaps and leading teams to successful delivery.

* Change Management: Adaptability in responding to change, with clear communication of its impact.
