• Experience leading multi-disciplinary engineering teams in a client services / agency / consultancy environment
• Comfortable with modern architectures, cloud, CI/CD and AI‑assisted tooling
• Confident engaging with clients, senior stakeholders and new business opportunities
• A human‑first leader who cares deeply about team wellbeing, growth and inclusion
• Calm, adaptable and effective in fast‑moving, ambiguous environments
