Our Mission
At Omnea, we’re reinventing how enterprise businesses operate, starting with the most painful parts: procurement – where a single purchase can drag on for months, trigger 50+ emails, and pull in Finance, Legal, Security, and IT just to get something approved.
We’ve raised $75M from Khosla Ventures, Insight Partners, and Accel to change that. Our AI-native platform connects every person, step, and system so buying is fast, safe, and efficient – one place to request, automated approvals and renewals, real-time supplier risk, and complete spend visibility.
It's a $7B+ untapped market, and our traction reflects the scale of the opportunity: we’ve 10x’d ARR to double-digit millions in 18 months and are trusted by global enterprises like Spotify, MongoDB, Monzo, and Albertsons. We’re now the 4th fastest growing startup in Europe.
Our team previously scaled Tessian (cybersecurity tech, backed by Sequoia, Balderton, Accel, acquired post-Series C), and our team includes ex-founders operators who’ve grown unicorns, shipped world-class products, and executed at the highest levels. You’ll work alongside leaders like Ben, Abs, Sabrina, and Rebe.

What we're looking for
We're looking for an ambitious and talented Engineering Manager to join Omnea, UK’s #1 Startup in 2026, and scale out our award-winning AI Supplier Relationship Management platform as part of our Engineering leadership team.
As we grow from tens to hundreds of enterprise customers and through 10x revenue growth in the next 2-3 years, you'll play a crucial role in building and leading the best Engineering function in its category. You will be responsible for multiple teams, ensuring we create, extend and deliver high-quality solutions while maintaining the velocity needed in a fast-growing environment.
You’ll be joining us at the most exciting possible time. We're a Series B company having raised $50m in our latest round from Accel, Point Nine, First Round, and 50+ renowned founders and industry experts. We’ve built an incredible and passionate Engineering team of top performers and we’re delighting many renowned and happy customers (Spotify, Lookout, McAfee, Onfido, Typeform, etc.) whilst managing to stay lean, efficient, and deeply embracing AI driven tooling and feature development.
You’ll operate with high autonomy and independence, collaborating with other EMs and Team Leads with a proven track record of driving impact and success, joining a hand-picked elite group of 100+ who have experience from Series A to pre-IPO at a tech unicorn. Our senior leadership team (CEO, CCO & CFO) went on a similar journey with Tessian, going from $0-30m ARR / $8-$500m valuation, and from pre-seed to Series C (Sequoia, Accel, etc.).
What you’ll do
Build and lead high-performing teams:
- Lead multiple engineering teams, fostering a culture of technical excellence and continuous improvement
- Drive engineering best practices, quality standards, and high performance
- Mentor and develop engineers, helping them grow their careers and impact
- Collaborate with Product, Design, Team Leads and other key stakeholders on team structures and deliveries to ensure optimal outcomes
