Full-Time
Head of Engineering and QA - Hybrid working. London
£80-95k with great benefits
We're looking for an experienced Engineering Manager with strong QA knowledge to lead delivery across multiple product squads within a complex, evolving technology environment. This is a strategic leadership role suited to someone who thrives on shaping engineering practices, improving quality standards, and bringing structure to fragmented delivery ecosystems.
The Role
As part of a senior delivery leadership team, you will oversee engineering and quality assurance across three squads. You'll be responsible for directing external engineering partners while establishing strong internal standards, ensuring alignment with architecture, and driving continuous improvement across the development lifecycle.
Key Responsibilities
Lead and coordinate external engineering suppliers across a diverse, multi-technology landscape
Establish and embed engineering and QA best practices across teams
Define and implement a modern CI/CD pipeline, incorporating automated testing
Assess and introduce AI-powered development tools to enhance team productivity
Collaborate closely with architecture leadership to ensure technical alignment and coherence
Bring structure and consistency to tooling and processes in a previously fragmented environment
Team Environment
Engineering capability is currently delivered primarily through contractors and external suppliers
A small but growing internal capability, including a Dynamics subject matter expert reporting into this role
QA capability includes an automation tester
What We're Looking For
Strong background in engineering leadership within complex delivery environments
Experience working within the Microsoft ecosystem, particularly Power Platform or low-code/no-code solutions
Solid understanding of test automation strategies and quality engineering principles
Proven ability to bring order and governance to disjointed or "grown organically" toolsets and processes
Comfortable leading through influence, particularly with external partners and distributed teams
Current Focus Areas
Quality assurance practices are in need of a full reassessment. While some automation exists, there is a significant opportunity to redefine the QA strategy and build a more robust, scalable approach to quality across all squads. Also a review across all engineering functions to align best practice and efficiency with future growth plans.
This is a high-impact role with the opportunity to shape engineering maturity, influence technical direction, and introduce modern ways of working in a fast-moving environment.
Ideally you will be in an engineering leadership role with a background in QA and Test Management.
