Our Mission
The way businesses buy stuff is completely broken. Whether it’s SaaS, hardware, or contractors, the average B2B purchase takes over 3 months, requires 50+ emails, and involves multiple different stakeholders (IT, Legal, InfoSec, Finance, etc.). No one likes the way it is and it’s slowing businesses down.
Omnea’s platform handles the entire purchasing process: giving employees an easy place to make requests (Intake), managing the necessary approvals for the purchase to be made (Approvals Engine), and automating all renewals management & supplier risk assessments. Omnea gives both buyers, and finance & procurement leaders critical visibility into how, when, and why money is being spent.
Given the current market's increased focus on capital efficiency, there has never been a more vital time for businesses to use Omnea and get control of their spend. This is why we're one of the fastest growing Series A B2B businesses in Europe, backed by tier-1 VCs like Accel, First Round, & Point Nine.
Welcome to Spend Control 2.0 — built for tougher times.
What We're Looking For
We're looking for our very first Engineering Manager to partner with our VP Engineering and establish Engineering Management at Omnea, and to take profound ownership across people, process and technology as part of our Engineering leadership team.
As we grow from tens to hundreds of enterprise customers and through 10x revenue growth in the next 2-3 years, you'll play a crucial role in building and leading the best Engineering function in its category. You will be responsible for multiple teams, ensuring we deliver high-quality solutions while maintaining the velocity needed in a fast-growing environment.
You’ll be joining us at the most exciting possible time. We're a Series A company having raised $25m from Accel, Point Nine, First Round, and 50+ renowned founders and industry experts. We’ve built an incredible & passionate Engineering team of top performers and we’ve shipped our platform to many renowned & happy customers (Spotify, Lookout, McAfee, Onfido, Typeform, etc.) whilst managing to stay lean & operate efficiently. You will have high autonomy but high collaboration with a VP Engineering with a track record of building & scaling teams of 100+ from Series A to pre-IPO at a tech unicorn. Our CEO, CCO & CFO went on a similar journey with Tessian, going from $0-30m ARR / $8-$500m valuation, and from pre-seed to Series C (Sequoia, Accel, etc.).
We are targeting an April 2025 start for this role
