Work you'll do

The Senior Manager of Engineering for the Global Employer Services Technology Center leads engineering talent, productivity, and capability across multiple product teams supporting our GlobalAdvantage (GA) platform. The role is a member of our product leadership team and works horizontally across teams to elevate and accelerate engineering outcomes. This leadership role has visibility across all technical domains and provides a direct hand in deciding where engineering talent will deliver the most value.

• Partnering with Product Owners and technical leaders to spot delivery trends and patterns, and proposing the development, allocation, process, or tooling improvements
• Building and running hiring, coaching, upskilling, and talent-allocation plans
• Tracking how these investments are improving delivery speed while maintaining quality, maintainability, and engineering standards
• Facilitating decisions across product teams as a partner to each team, with accountability for talent outcomes across the full portfolio

A successful candidate would bring these skills:

• Experience leading engineering teams across multiple product groups
• Direct, hands-on experience hiring, developing, managing the performance of, and allocating engineering talent
• Implementing and leveraging engineering productivity metrics to guide real decisions, not just report on activity
• Experience leading distributed and global engineering teams
• Strong influence skills for a matrixed organization, where product, architecture, delivery, and people responsibilities are distributed
• Enough technical depth to test assumptions, understand delivery constraints, and work as a credible partner to Architects and Principal Engineers
• Strong executive communication and stakeholder-management skills
