We're supporting a rapidly growing, professional services business as they hire their first dedicated Platform Engineering Manager.
Having recently invested in building a platform capability, the business is now looking for an experienced leader to take ownership of the function, define the strategy, and build out a team that will support multiple engineering squads across the organisation.
This is an opportunity to shape the future of platform engineering within a business that is embracing a platform-as-a-product mindset, with a focus on developer enablement, self-service tooling, cloud infrastructure, and operational excellence.
The Role
- Lead and grow a Platform Engineering team, with plans to expand significantly over the next 12 months.
- Define the platform vision, operating model, and roadmap.
- Drive adoption of self-service tooling and developer platforms across engineering teams.
- Partner with senior technology leaders to improve developer experience and engineering productivity.
- Build strong relationships across engineering, data, and technology teams.
- Establish platform standards, governance, and ways of working.
- Recruit, mentor, and develop Platform Engineers as the function scales.
