OVERVIEW

Build What Matters

The Engineering Manager leads the engineering side of a product team, reporting to and supporting their Product General Manager (PGM). They are responsible for the engineers in their team, including their performance, growth, and

day-to-day

execution, and for making sure work moves from "ready to build" through to "shipped and stable" with high quality and a predictable cadence.

Delivery is shared with the Product Design Manager (PDM). The PDM owns the what: product scope, design, acceptance criteria, and production monitoring. The Manager owns the how: engineering capacity, sprint planning, unblocking engineers, and the quality of the engineering process.

Both are jointly accountable for timelines and outcomes. When something slips or ships with issues, neither role can point at the other.

The Manager also works closely with the Tech Lead, who owns technical quality and architectural direction. The Manager focuses on execution and people. The Tech Lead focuses on technical standards and code quality. In practice these overlap and require close collaboration.

This is a Sitemate-specific role and it is deliberately narrower than a typical Engineering Manager. Think Delivery Manager and Engineering Lead combined,



with delivery shared with the PDM and technical direction carved out to the Tech Lead. Set this framing with candidates early, because it is the single most common source of mismatch.

EMPLOYMENT:

- Full-time
- Based: Sydney, Australia or Melbourne, Australia
- Remuneration (Including Super): AUD $140,000 - $170,000 pending your experience
