They are responsible for delivery, team development, and cross-team coordination.
They create the organizational conditions for product and technical strategy to be implemented.
They directly manage 4 Engineering Managers and work in tandem with the Staff Engineer (architecture, technical standards) and the CTPO (product and technology vision).
This role is created to enable the organization to scale in a data-centric shift, accelerate prototyping, and reduce enterprise churn.
Establish clear visibility into engineering project progress without imposing a rigid framework.

Manage dependencies between squads, anticipate bottlenecks, and unblock conflict or blockage situations.
Lead incident management in collaboration with Engineering Operations / SRE.

8+ years of engineering experience, including 3+ years managing Engineering Managers (not just ICs)

Experience structuring or restructuring an engineering organization (30–60+ people)
Experience in a B2B SaaS environment, ideally cybersecurity, data, or cloud
