Job Description:

Senior Director of Engineering

Driving Innovation in Global HealthTech

Manchester | Hybrid (2 days onsite)

Backed by £40M+ in Series B funding

The Opportunity

We’re partnering with a pioneering HealthTech company that’s reshaping the future of healthcare delivery across the globe. Following major Series B investment, they’re entering an exciting growth phase—and they’re on the lookout for a Director of Engineering to help scale their already impressive tech operation.

This role sits at the heart of a mission-led business that’s solving real-world challenges at scale, with a platform that’s trusted by global leaders in the health sector.

What You’ll Be Doing

Think less about business-as-usual leadership, and more about driving bold technical evolution.

You’ll be heading up a 100+ person engineering org, championing world-class engineering practices, and working alongside execs across product, sales, and growth.

You’ll:

• Lead multidisciplinary teams across software engineering, architecture, and QA
• Help shape the technical direction and future of a high-impact platform
• Build high-performing teams and nurture engineering leadership from within
• Align engineering outcomes with product and commercial goals
• Keep quality, reliability, and security top of mind as the platform scales
• Embrace DevOps, infrastructure as code, and modern CI/CD pipelines
• Bring clarity and structure to complexity in a fast-paced, scaling business

What You’ll Bring

You’ve been here before. You’ve led from the front. You understand what it takes to drive engineering excellence at scale.

We’d love to speak with you if you:

• Have a deep technical background (ideally across AWS, .NET, Node, TypeScript, Terraform, CI/CD)
• Come from a Software Engineering background
• Have experience operating in global, high-growth environments
• Are a strategic thinker, problem-solver, and mentor who leads with empathy
• Thrive in ambitious, purpose-driven teams
• Value collaboration and can work cross-functionally with product and commercial teams
• Are obsessed with continuous improvement—across tech, people, and process

Why It’s a Great Move:

This is your chance to lead at the intersection of cutting-edge technology and real-world impact. You’ll be working in a company where engineering is truly valued, where your work will directly improve healthcare outcomes, and where your leadership will shape the future of a scaling tech organisation.

Location:

Based in Manchester – hybrid model with 2+ days in the office.
