Your Role

We’re looking for a Senior Engineering Manager to join our Business Operations team. This talented group builds software solutions that connect the end‑user experience and back‑of‑the‑house business systems. In short, you’ll be a key player in powering our Sales, Support, Billing and Finance teams.

As a Senior Engineering Manager, you’ll:

• Guide strategy and execution. You’ll confidently guide one or more teams across multiple projects, defining a strategy that aligns with the organization, business and customer needs. You’ll be thinking and articulating strategy over six to 12 month time horizons.
• Drive impactful results. You’ll focus your team’s efforts on moving the needle for our business goals and customers. You'll pull the right levers to drive meaningful results and understand the wider, cross‑functional implications of your team’s work.
• Develop and empower your team. You’ll attract and hire diverse talent, keeping in mind the long‑term health of the organization. You'll foster the career growth of your team by coaching, mentoring and providing opportunities for them to work on next‑level assignments.
• Collaborate across Hudl. You’ll be a strong partner to other teams and cross‑functional partners, with the ability to influence without authority. You’ll optimize globally for the wider organization, breaking down silos to reach the best outcome for Hudl.

For this role, we’re currently considering candidates who live within a commuting distance of our offices in Lincoln, Nebraska and Omaha, Nebraska. But with our flexible work policy, there aren’t any current requirements for the number of days you come to the office.

Must‑Haves

• An experienced leader. You have at least eight years of software engineering experience and three or more years of experience in technology leadership and people management.
• A people‑first manager. You know how to build, organize and motivate well‑balanced, diverse teams with a strong sense of belonging. You’re an empathetic leader who proactively asks for feedback and invests time in being a better manager.
• A strategic thinker. You can define the strategy for your team in alignment with company‑wide priorities and customer needs. You’re able to make the right decision despite conflicting perspectives and act thoughtfully and decisively.
• An excellent communicator. You communicate with clarity and brevity, tailoring your message to your audience. You’re respectfully blunt in conversations and proactively share information to keep your team and stakeholders aligned.

Nice‑to‑Haves

• Professional background in relevant technologies. Experience with C#, React, MongoDB and AWS are a plus.
• Experience with hybrid teams. You’ve successfully led teams where members are working both in‑office and remotely.
• Domain experience. We want to hear about any past work involving internal admin systems for SaaS products, coordinating closely with other internal stakeholders, or developing against APIs for business systems (e.g., CRM, ERP, billing, payment vendors).

Our Role

• Champion work‑life harmony. We’ll give you the flexibility you need in your work life (e.g., flexible vacation time, company‑wide holidays and timeout (meeting‑free) days, remote work options and more) so you can enjoy your personal life too.
• Guarantee autonomy. We have an open, honest culture and we trust our people from day one. Your team will support you, but you’ll own your work and have the agency to try new ideas.
• Encourage career growth. We’re lifelong learners who encourage professional development. We’ll give you tons of resources and opportunities to keep growing.
• Provide an environment to help you succeed. We’ve invested in our offices, designing incredible spaces with our employees in mind. But whether you’re at the office or working remotely, we’ll provide you the tech stack and hardware to do your best work.
• Support your mental and physical health. We care about our employees’ wellbeing. Our Employee Assistance Program, employee resource groups and fitness partner Peerfit have you covered.
• Cover your medical insurance. We have multiple plans to pick from to ensure you’ll have the coverage you (and your dependents) want, including vision, dental, fertility healthcare and family forming benefits.
• Contribute to your 401(K). Yep, that’s free money. We’ll match up to 4% of your own contribution.
