Head of Engineering

Head of Engineering – Tech for Good 🌍

Central London/Hybrid


About the Organisation

This is an opportunity to take on a Head of Engineering role within a company that directly improves health, wellbeing, and quality of life. The business operates on the core principle that alignment of ethical impact with commercial success is not only possible but proven—they’ve backed it up with a successful £70m Series C funding round.

Aiming for global expansion (Europe first, followed by the US), this organisation is primed for rapid growth. The next phase demands a senior technology leader with the autonomy to shape both technical infrastructure and the strategic mission of the business.


The Role

You will lead Technology, with a focus on Engineering, Data, and AI adoption.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Define and execute the technical vision for the business’s next growth stage
  • Shape international expansion strategy, ensuring scalable systems
  • Drive an AI-first operating model by:
    • Identifying tangible AI opportunities that boost efficiency, quality, and decision-making
    • Embedding AI across workflows, tools, and systems for measurable impact
    • Translating ambition into reality at an operational level
  • Inherit a strong engineering team andсь with autonomy to:
    • Raise technical standards, improve structures, and up-skill capabilities
    • Work with leadership to align engineering, data, and AI with business priorities
  • Focus on execution over theory—enhance delivery predictability, engineering effectiveness, and technical excellence
  • Ensure AI is integrated beyond engineering, improving key commercial processes
  • Collaborate closely with the CEO and leadership to prioritise high-impact initiatives

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
