Job description

We are seeking a highly motivated and experienced Senior Engineering Manager to lead our Merchandising Surfaces subdomain, within the Conversion Product Area. This role is pivotal in driving our Merchandising Strategy and delivering dynamic, machine learning and data-informed user experiences across multiple channels. You will have the opportunity to drive significant impact on the user experience and contribute to the growth of our business.

  • Coordinate the creation of dynamic surfaces that adapt to user insights and centralised decision systems to drive business goals.
  • Ensure integration with non-owned channels and achieve cross-channel consistency.
  • Address challenges such as single-serve custom development, lack of a common customer view, and conflicting priorities.
  • Implement a mature content management system integrated with decision systems.
  • Collaborate with other teams to define clear contracts and dependencies, avoiding fragmented and implicit dependencies.
  • Prioritise building reusable core capabilities over individual projects and platformisation when needed.
  • Collaborate with internal partners to define strategies, guardrails, and rules for merchandising activities.
  • Ensure the team adopts consistent patterns for software development and communication.
  • Lead resourcing and hiring needs for the Surfacing team.
  • Be responsible for the implementation of Surfacing content investments including Content Management, Design Systems, Dynamic Surfacing, and Surfacing Selection & Orchestration.

  • Strong understanding of software architecture, system design, and development best practices.
  • Experience with building and scaling user interfaces and multi-channel experiences.
  • Knowledge of content management systems, design systems, and dynamic surfacing techniques.
  • Ability to work effectively with cross-functional teams and stakeholders.
  • Proven track record of driving technology strategies across multiple teams.
  • Familiarity with user facing product development (Web or Mobile).
  • Experience with machine learning and data-informed decision making.
  • Familiarity with e-commerce platforms and merchandising strategies.
Where you’ll be
