Head of Engineering

We’re on a mission to back the UK’s small businesses like no one else. Small businesses are the backbone of the economy, and we’re here to help them win. We’ve built a platform that uses clever data to get them the funding they need in minutes, not weeks. At Funding Circle, we have the restless energy of a fintech start‑up with the stability of a public company. It’s a unique mix that gives Circlers the autonomy to take ownership and the scale to make an impact that truly counts. We’re a high‑performing team that chooses to lift each other up. We challenge, we champion, and we have each other’s backs – because we know that when we stand together, we move faster and build better. The impact is real: Last year alone, the businesses on our platform generated £7.2bn for the UK economy.

The role is based in London (Hybrid) with 2 days in the office and offers a competitive salary plus benefits. The Head of Engineering, Multi-Product Experiences will be responsible for leading the engineering teams dedicated to Multi-Product Experiences. The group consists of existing teams being brought together under a newly defined mission: to deliver a seamless lifetime customer experience. They will achieve this through unifying and streamlining product-agnostic customer journeys and business processes, while ensuring seamless integration with product-specific customer journeys and core business processes.

You Will Be Accountable For:

• Setting the technology strategy for Multi-Product Experiences, and achieving the outcomes for your group across technology & architecture, engineering excellence and talent & ways of working.
• Successful execution of the prioritised product roadmap, progress towards target state architecture, and delivery against strategic business objectives.
• Being a team builder: supporting, managing, and mentoring engineering managers and staff engineers of varying experience levels.
• Being a driver: operationalising strategic goals, driving company and product direction, prioritising resources, and realising incremental value.
• Being an AI champion: proactively seeking opportunities and realising value through the use of AI across the SDLC and PDLC.
• Being a Funding Circle representative: representing Funding Circle engineering and management at industry events, and helping grow our brand within the community.
• Being a collaborator: forging deep bonds with your business counterparts, understanding their needs and sharing ownership of their outcomes.
• Being a teacher: being generous with your time and expertise to educate and upskill stakeholders and fellow engineering leaders.

What we’re looking for:

• Experienced in engineering management and technical leadership having successfully led engineering re-organisations.
• Experienced in delivering mission-critical, high-value products and services, and have expertise in effective partnering with Product counterparts.
• Experienced with Agile methodologies, engineering metrics and making data-driven decisions, and building high-performing teams.
• Experienced in working in a fast-paced environment and able to successfully navigate and lead through change.

We’re building a place where everyone truly feels they belong. Even if your past experience doesn’t align perfectly with every requirement, we’d still love to hear from you.

Why join us?

• We back you to build an incredible career. As a flexible-first employer, we use a "best of both" approach.
• We’ll see you in our London office to collaborate – with barista coffee and subsidised Just Eat lunches on us!
• Our Circler Proposition focuses on five areas: Flexibility, Health, Wealth, Development, and Lifestyle.
