Lead the Technology That Powers Growth
This is not a traditional Head of Software Engineering role.
We're looking for a technology leader who can combine engineering excellence with strategic thinking, helping shape how technology enables the next stage of growth across Acosta Group Europe.
As our most senior software engineering leader, you'll play a central role in defining technology direction, leading high performing engineering teams, influencing senior stakeholders, and ensuring our platforms and products are built to support ambitious business goals.
You'll have the opportunity to modernise, innovate and shape the future, balancing hands on understanding of technology with the leadership and commercial awareness needed to drive meaningful business outcomes.
About the Opportunity
Technology is a critical enabler of our future growth. We're investing in our platforms, systems and digital capabilities to create better experiences for our clients, colleagues and customers.
As Head of Software Engineering, you'll lead the engineering function whilst helping influence wider technology strategy. Working across multiple business areas, you'll ensure our technology roadmap delivers against both immediate priorities and long term ambitions.
This is a highly visible leadership role where you'll work closely with senior stakeholders across the organisation, translating business challenges into technology solutions and creating an environment where talented engineers can do their best work.
What You'll Be Doing
Leading and developing a talented software engineering team. Setting engineering standards and driving technical excellence. Helping shape the future technology strategy for the organisation. Delivering scalable, secure and resilient platforms and applications. Driving modern development practices and continuous improvement. Working closely with business leaders to align technology investment with commercial priorities. Influencing architecture, innovation and technology decision making. Building a culture that attracts, develops and retains exceptional technical talent.
What We're Looking For
You'll likely have experience leading software engineering teams within a complex organisation and be comfortable operating at both strategic and operational levels.
