About the Role

Are you an experienced engineering manager who still remembers what it’s like to write production code? Do you know how to build a high-performing culture where engineers feel supported, challenged, and recognised? Our core forecasting model sits at the absolute centre of our global energy capability. It translates complex system dynamics into scalable, robust software that helps governments, investors, and utilities make billion-dollar decisions on the path to net zero.

We are looking for a dedicated Modelling Software Engineering Manager to lead our Model Development team in Oxford. In this role, you will lead 3–4 squads (approx. 15–20 engineers) who build and operate these critical models and the underlying platform.

Please Note: This is a leadership and management role, not a hands-on technical lead role—but it requires genuine technical credibility. You must understand enough of the technology to have meaningful 1:1 development conversations and accurately spot when a technical problem is turning into a delivery bottleneck.

Key Responsibilities

  • People Culture: Line-manage our most senior engineers, drive performance reviews, and own the line-management function across all squads—including training squad leads to be exceptional managers.
