A leading UK financial services provider is seeking a highly experienced Engineering Manager to lead multiple squads within their retail engineering function.

Foster a culture of continuous improvement, technical excellence, and agile delivery
What We're Looking For:
Proven experience as a senior engineer, architect, or technical lead, with hands-on delivery experience
Experience managing multiple squads or engineering teams in Life & Pensions or financial services
Strong understanding of agile delivery, sprint planning, and backlog prioritisation
Technical credibility: ability to review architecture, challenge solutions, and implement engineering standards
Excellent communication skills for both technical and non-technical stakeholders
Familiarity with .NET/C#, Azure, DevOps/CI/CD, microservices, and modern scalable architecture principles is desirable
The opportunity:
Shape a new leadership role in a regulated, innovative, and growing team
Influence technical standards and delivery practices across multiple squads
Work closely with senior leadership in a highly visible and influential position
Join a supportive, inclusive culture committed to development and continuous improvement
If you are a delivery-focused, technically credible Engineering Manager with financial services experience and a passion for driving high-quality outcomes, Apply now!
