This is a great opportunity for either an experienced Engineering leader or a strongup-and-coming engineering leaderwho is ready for a bigger role.
You might currently be a Senior Engineering Manager, Head of Engineering or Director leading several teams and managers, but you're ambitious and want the chance to lead an entire engineering function.
You'll report to an experienced CPTO and have plenty of room to shape the team rather than inherit a finished playbook.
The technology environment is modern and high-scale, supporting aconsumer marketplace, mobile products, payments and a growing set of commercial products and integrations.

Lead and develop an engineering organisation of ~40 people
Build and coach Engineering Managers and senior technical leaders
Improve delivery, SDLC, QA, reliability and engineering effectiveness
Drive practical adoption of AI and agentic engineering
Work closely with Product and Design on high-volume consumer and marketplace products
