We are looking for a Head of Engineering for the Marketplace area at Treatwell. We are Europe’s leading platform for booking hair and beauty appointments, serving millions of customers and partners across multiple markets.

In this role, you will lead and grow multiple cross‑functional Product Engineering teams within Marketplace, working closely with Product and Design to build experiences that connect customers and venues at scale. You set clear directions and enable teams to operate with strong ownership, autonomy, and pace. You ensure consistency in engineering practices, while keeping decisions close to the work and actively removing friction.

You also grow future leaders by coaching engineering managers and senior engineers and by creating the conditions for teams to deliver outcomes reliably while also sponsoring and driving initiatives that raise the bar and strengthen Treatwell’s overall Product Engineering capabilities.

If this excites you, we might just have the role for you.

You will be responsible for:

1. Drive Marketplace outcomes

• Co‑own and drive outcomes with the Head of Product, setting clear, outcome‑focused goals.

2. Technical direction & scaling practices

• Set the technical direction for the Marketplace area together with architects and engineers. Use guilds as the primary mechanism to shape and scale technical direction and practices, raising the bar on reliability, maintainability, performance and security so teams can move fast with confidence. Drive consistency across Marketplace teams and alignment with other areas through shared principles, guardrails and learning.

3. Develop strong leaders and teams

• Deliberately grow engineering managers and senior individual contributors within Marketplace. Ensure teams are planned and staffed with the right skills to deliver effectively today and as the area’s needs evolve. Own hiring, succession planning and talent development for the area, while coaching leaders to be effective people leaders, technical decision‑makers and area‑level owners who help teams move forward.

4. Improve developer experience and enable delivery

• Remove organisational and technical barriers that slow Marketplace teams down, reduce toil and improve day‑to‑day delivery. Partner closely with Platform to evolve shared foundations for CI/CD, observability and operational excellence. Drive responsible use of AI tooling to increase productivity and shorten feedback loops, while strengthening quality, security and incident management so teams can deliver and operate with confidence.

5. Inclusive Product Engineering culture

• Champion inclusivity, transparency and continuous improvement across Product, Design and Engineering as equal partners in delivery. Reinforce shared values and ways of working, ensuring consistency across Product Engineering while enabling Marketplace teams to collaborate effectively and move fast.

6. Strategic thinking and focus

• Support teams in focusing on Now, shaping Next and setting clear ambition for Later within their domains. Work closely with executive sponsors on company objectives to translate strategy into clear, area‑level priorities. Provide teams with the clarity and protection needed to stay focused, balancing business needs with technical and team health and helping teams navigate trade‑offs while maintaining delivery momentum.

7. Product Engineering as part of the company

• Build strong, trust‑based collaboration across Treatwell so the Marketplace area operates as an integral part of a product‑led organisation. Work closely with Commercial, Customer Support and Group Functions to shape priorities together, surface trade‑offs early and solve shared problems. Enable teams to focus on what matters, move faster and deliver value end to end for customers and venues.
