About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Leading engineers – You take end-to-end responsibility for performance management: regular 1:1s, candid feedback, individual development plans — and the difficult conversations that come with genuinely helping people grow.
Delivery, quality and flow – You are responsible for your teams' outcomes: predictable delivery, clear quality standards, and outcome KPIs which you help define and consistently track.
Operating model – You establish the routines, processes and guardrails (engineering standards, security, compliance) that enable your teams to work effectively — and ensure they are actually followed.
Prioritization and focus – You help your teams find the right balance between speed, quality, scope and impact. You translate product and company strategy into concrete engineering priorities — and protect focus when it matters.
Leadership-level contribution – You bring technical and delivery-related topics to the leadership agenda. You are an active member of the tech leadership team and help shape Conceptboard's technical direction.

Requirements

What you’ll need

You have driven performance management, growth and hiring independently — including creating job descriptions, conducting interviews and managing all related tasks.
You do not shy away from difficult conversations; you see them as part of your job.
You have a strong sense for team structures and know how to build teams that actually execute strategic priorities rather than merely maintaining the status quo.
You can demonstrably build sustainable engineering operating models from the ground up — experience in turning around teams is essential.
Leading already well-functioning teams is the easy part. You actively seek responsibility for the engineering culture — the practices, standards and routines.
You have sufficient technical expertise to speak with engineers as a peer, to weigh trade-offs confidently and to recognize when things are heading in the wrong direction — without needing to be the best engineer in the room.
