  • Be the face of Engineering: Represent the function in executive forums, customer conversations, and strategic vendor relationships.
  • Maximise impact, minimise waste: Lead financial planning for engineering, ensuring resources are invested where they create the most value.

  • A remote-first, inclusive culture that values trust, accountability, and psychological safety.
  • Collaboration with world-class peers across Product, Solutions, and AI/Data.
