📋 Description

• Lead, coach and develop a large group of engineers and team leads across multiple teams, running regular 1:1s, feedback, performance reviews and career development against Pencil Pathways • Work with other Engineering Managers to align planning, delivery cadence, incident and release management, and retrospectives across teams • Contribute process improvements to make ways of working lighter and better • Support the TPM in aligning priorities with Product, Design and Data, setting clear expectations, keeping delivery predictable, and resolving people-related blockers • Support engineering hiring and onboarding, including interview loops and candidate assessment • Build a healthy, inclusive team culture and address conflict, burnout and performance issues • Promote continuous learning through experimentation, open failure reviews and shared actions • Maintain working understanding of architecture, key systems, trade-offs and technical risks through design reviews, incident reviews and roadmap discussions • Hold teams accountable for customer and business outcomes rather than output alone • Champion AI-first ways of working with human review and accountability • Measure and improve retention, engagement, growth, performance, hiring/onboarding, alignment, delivery predictability, quality, value delivered, AI adoption and continuous learning
