West Midlands: Hybrid: twice per week in the office
Benefits
- Bonus Scheme
- Hybrid Working
I am working with a client in the West Midlands who are looking for a Platform Engineering Manager with a Platform First mindset that can provide strategic leadership to the existing team.
You will be coming into a mature team environment, where there is technical capability and proven delivery. What is lacking at the moment is leadership.
You won't be coming in to turn things around, as they are already on track. This is about bringing inspiration and motivation to an already performing team.
The right person will recognise what is working and encourage continuity, whilst taking the senior responsibilities over and managing efficiently.
Technical capability is important, and in an ideal world you will have recent or current hands on experience with:
- Running platforms in public cloud
- Working in close proximity to Engineering teams in an environment that encourages transparency.
- Experience building modern SaaS platforms
- Strategic oversight, Roadmap delivery
- Investigating Platform health and pushing boundaries
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
You should be the type of person that makes informed decisions and takes the time to investigate before jumping to conclusions.
You should follow best practice ITIL standards and can evidence this.
You should have a Prioritisation through blast radius mindset; ranging tasks and alerts based on maximum damage if a failure or breach occurs.
This is an excellent team of talented individuals in a company where quality is paramount, and they need someone to enhance their already significant abilities. Is that you?
