Senior Engineering Manager (AI)

Working Environment

The organisation is building momentum in AI but remains relatively early in its maturity. This creates both ambiguity and opportunity.

You will work closely with engineers, technical leaders, product and delivery colleagues, supporting teams as they learn, adapt and scale AI-enabled engineering practices. Success depends on judgement, empathy and clear communication as much as technical understanding.

What You'll Be Doing

- Provide leadership and support to engineering teams delivering AI-enabled products and platforms

- Act as a visible engineering leader, shaping culture, collaboration and professional standards

- Support the adoption of AI-assisted development practices to improve delivery and quality

- Work with senior engineers and technical leads to influence technical decisions and delivery approaches

- Help teams navigate change, ambiguity and evolving priorities

- Translate technical concepts for non-technical stakeholders where needed

- Build strong relationships across engineering, product and delivery communities

Your Experience

To be successful in this role, you will bring:

- A strong background as a software engineer, with significant hands-on experience prior to moving into leadership

- Demonstrable experience leading, supporting or influencing engineers in delivery environments

- Practical exposure to AI-enabled software development and engineering acceleration

- At least 12 months' experience working with or alongside AI-focused engineering teams

- Strong understanding of modern software engineering and infrastructure practices

- Confidence operating where processes and patterns are still forming

- Clear communication skills and the ability to build trust across teams

In Return

You'll play a key role in shaping how engineering teams adopt AI responsibly and effectively over time.

This is an opportunity to support people, influence technical direction and help create sustainable engineering practices in a fast-evolving area.
