Strategic Technology Platform - Lead Engineer

We're looking for an experienced technology leader to take end-to-end ownership of a business-critical platform at the heart of a major digital transformation.

This is a high-impact leadership role overseeing several cross-functional technology teams, delivering a modern, user-focused platform that simplifies complex processes and improves how internal teams work with data, tools, and customers.

What You'll Do:

• Lead delivery across four tech teams (circa 80 people), with direct reports managing each stream
• Own the roadmap, risks, and delivery of a complex platform with executive visibility
• Influence senior business stakeholders and align technology with commercial goals
• Drive Agile best practices and improve engineering effectiveness
• Champion technical excellence without being hands-on in code

What You Bring:

• Proven leadership of large-scale digital platforms
• Strong technical background (any stack) and experience overseeing architecture
• Skilled communicator with credibility at exec and frontline levels
• Background in complex, user-centric platforms (ideally customer or sales-focused)
• Deep understanding of modern delivery models and Agile ways of working

Ideal for a tech leader who thrives in strategic delivery, cross-team leadership, and shaping the future of enterprise platforms.
