IoT Technology – Senior Manager

The challenge

We are looking for an IoT Technology Senior Manager to lead the European technology delivery of our international connected platform. This is a pivotal role within our digital leadership team — responsible for ensuring our connected ecosystem delivers secure, scalable and seamless experiences across millions of connected appliances throughout Europe. You'll combine strong technical leadership with international collaboration, ensuring our global platform is successfully delivered across European markets while championing regional business and consumer requirements. Working closely with international engineering teams, you'll help shape the evolution of the platform, ensuring new capabilities are delivered quickly, reliably and with the highest standards of quality, security and compliance. We're looking for someone technically strong, commercially aware and confident working across multiple countries and functions — a leader who enjoys solving complex engineering challenges while always keeping the consumer experience at the centre of every decision.

What you will do

Key Responsibilities

• Own the European technology delivery of our international connected platform, ensuring reliable, scalable and secure connected experiences across all brands and markets.
• Represent European business and consumer requirements within the international platform organisation, working closely with global engineering teams to influence priorities, capabilities and platform evolution.
• Lead the delivery of mobile applications, cloud services, APIs, device onboarding, connectivity services, firmware integration and over‑the‑air updates.
• Ensure successful delivery of new product introductions (NPI), platform enhancements and technical improvements through effective planning, governance and release management.
• Champion engineering excellence through platform reliability, performance optimisation, technical quality, operational monitoring and continuous reduction of technical debt.
• Ensure compliance with all relevant regulatory, security and privacy requirements, including GDPR, RED and other applicable European standards.
• Partner with UX, Product, Service, Digital and Marketing teams to ensure global platform capabilities become simple, intuitive and valuable consumer experiences.
• Lead, coach and develop a high‑performing IoT technology team, creating a culture of ownership, collaboration and continuous improvement.
• Manage our strategic third‑party engineering partner, ensuring strong delivery, effective planning, high technical standards and successful day‑to‑day collaboration across a distributed development organisation.
• Enable the integration of emerging technologies, including AI capabilities, ensuring the connected platform remains scalable, secure and future‑ready.
• Define and track platform KPIs linked to engineering and consumer outcomes, including delivery speed, platform stability, app ratings, connectivity performance, compliance and technical quality.
• Stay ahead of emerging technologies including AI, connected ecosystems, cloud services, security and industry standards — ensuring our connected platform continues to evolve while remaining secure, scalable and future‑ready.

What you need to succeed

About You

• 5+ years' experience leading IoT, connected platform or software engineering teams, ideally within consumer technology, connected devices or digital products.
• Proven record of delivering secure, scalable and high‑quality connected platforms across multiple products and markets.
• Experienced in leading cross‑functional engineering teams and collaborating across international organisations.
• Strong technical understanding of cloud platforms, APIs, mobile applications, connected devices, firmware integration and modern software architecture.
• Experienced in Agile software delivery, CI/CD, release management, quality assurance and platform operations.
• Strong knowledge of regulatory compliance, security and privacy requirements including GDPR, RED and related European standards.
• Proven experience managing external technology partners and outsourced engineering organisations.
• Skilled at influencing without authority — able to align engineering, product and business teams around shared priorities across multiple geographies.
• You are an engineering‑led technology leader who enjoys solving complex technical problems while never losing sight of the consumer. You are equally comfortable discussing platform architecture with engineers, negotiating priorities with international stakeholders and helping business leaders understand technical trade‑offs.
• Curious, confident and comfortable working in fast‑changing international environments.
• Fluent in English (Italian or other European languages are a plus).

What We Offer

• A defining opportunity to shape the European delivery of one of the world's largest connected appliance platforms.
• A place on a transformational journey within one of Europe's most ambitious digital organisations.
• The opportunity to work across Europe and internationally, influencing the future evolution of our connected platform.
