Software Engineering Manager
This is an opportunity to join a well-established SaaS software business backed by a larger parent group, now entering a pivotal phase of organisational and technical transformation. With significant investment in cloud-based infrastructure, team development, and product innovation, the company offers the stability of a proven operation alongside the energy of a business embracing change. You'll be part of a genuinely collaborative, people-first culture—one that values inclusion (with a 50/50 gender balance at leadership level) and offers real opportunities for career progression locally and across the wider group.
The Software Engineering Manager will lead the end-to-end software development and infrastructure function, taking on a hands-on leadership role with broad responsibility across technical delivery, team management, architecture, and system modernisation.
This includes overseeing a multidisciplinary team of 23, spanning software engineers, QA specialists, and infrastructure professionals, while providing both day-to-day guidance and long-term strategic direction. The role is central to shaping greenfield and brownfield development initiatives, driving the shift to a modern DevOps culture, supporting major cloud migrations, and transforming legacy systems to meet future business needs.
As a key member of the senior leadership team, the Software Engineering Manager will also mentor teams through change and champion close collaboration across development, infrastructure, and support functions.
This is an exciting opportunity for a Software Engineering Manager looking to make a tangible impact within a forward-thinking technology environment. Success in this role will depend on the ability to combine hands-on technical leadership with strategic insight and a genuine passion for developing people and platforms. The incoming Software Engineering Manager will also play a lead role in aligning technical capability with long-term business objectives—contributing directly to strategic planning across the organisation.
