About you
You are an experienced engineering leader with a strong software engineering background and a track record of leading teams responsible for business‑critical products and platforms.
You combine strong people leadership with credible technical judgement. You are comfortable setting direction, helping teams make complex engineering decisions and remaining close enough to the technology to understand the health, risks and opportunities within the platforms you own.
You understand that engineering leadership is about more than delivery. You think about the long‑term health of technology: architecture, reliability, security, scalability, developer experience, operational performance and the ability of teams to evolve their systems sustainably.
You are comfortable working closely with Product and business stakeholders, translating priorities into engineering plans and making thoughtful trade‑offs between new capabilities, technical investment and operational needs.
You are also motivated by developing people and teams. You create clear ownership, coach engineers, build capability and create an environment where people can challenge, learn and take increasing responsibility.
About the team
Commercial Technology is part of the Internal Products group within FT Product & Technology. We are a multidisciplinary group of Engineers, Product Managers and Business Analysts responsible for building and operating the technology platforms that support the FT’s commercial capabilities across Marketing, Sales, Service and Commercial Data.
We are undertaking a significant evolution of our commercial technology landscape, bringing these capabilities together around a more connected Salesforce platform and establishing a strong foundation for how our commercial teams engage with customers and use data.
In Marketing & Commercial Data , we are evolving our marketing technology landscape towards Salesforce Marketing Cloud Next and Data 360, while continuing to operate and transition from established platforms including Bloomreach, Marketo and Legacy Salesforce Marketing Cloud products for B2B & B2C marketing.
In Sales & Service , we are consolidating a number of Salesforce CRM orgs with their associated processes and procedures into a leaner Commercial Technology estate, utilising data available to us via Data 360, into a setup that aligns with the FT’s future commercial capabilities and setup.
In Commercial Platform , we are establishing a centre of excellence at the heart of the commercial workflow, tasked with ensuring the security, health and viability of our day‑to‑day commercial operation and providing a primary support route for our business users.
The Engineering Manager will lead one of the engineering teams within Commercial Technology, working closely with Product, Senior Engineers, other Engineering Managers and the wider Commercial Technology leadership team.
