The Opportunity
Ford Credit Europe is undergoing a fundamental shift from a traditional financial services provider to a tech-driven mobility finance leader. As the Head of EU Engineering Excellence, you will be a key player in this transition — ensuring that as we scale our engineering organisation, our teams have the processes, tooling, and culture to do their best work consistently and sustainably.
Are you energised by building high-performing engineering organisations by challenging the status quo? Do you thrive on enabling teams through optimised processes, cutting-edge tooling, and data-driven insights? Are you excited by the challenge of working with a newly formed TPM function?
This role sits within the Technical Program Management function, centred around engineering enablement and operational excellence. You will work closely with engineering leadership, Site Reliability Engineering (SRE), and Product Operations to define and embed the practices that make a great engineering organisation. We have a foundation to build on, and we're looking for someone with the experience and vision to take Engineering Excellence within the TPM Office to the next level.

We're seeking an experienced leader who wants to create an engineering organisation that is efficient, effective, and fulfilling to work in. While specific experience is valuable, we're ultimately looking for the right attitude, leadership skills, and a genuine passion for high-performing teams. You likely excel in these areas:
- You have hands-on experience working in an enterprise software engineering team and understand the real challenges engineers face day to day.
- You are a natural problem-solver with a passion for improving workflows and building scalable, durable processes.
- You thrive in ambiguity and can create structure and direction from a blank canvas.
- You are highly organised, detail-oriented, and analytically strong.
- You embrace new technologies and can evaluate, select, and embed tools that genuinely improve productivity and developer experience.
- You identify risks in engineering processes early and develop practical strategies to address them.
- You are a strong communicator and collaborator, able to influence and build consensus across diverse teams without formal authority.
- You are passionate about people development and fostering a culture of continuous learning.
- You have a track record of driving adoption of new processes or tooling — you bring people along, you don't mandate from above.
