Engineering Manager (Contract) Consultancy Client Modern tech environment Remote (UK-based) Outside IR35 c£500p/d
We’re working with a Tech Consultancy who are supporting a MedTech end client that has recently shifted from the old front-end / back-end split into proper full-stack, product-led teams. They’re after an Engineering Manager with Consultancy experience who can land well, build trust quickly, and help a very busy team settle into this new way of working.
The role
You will be looking after a full-stack squad who have plenty on the go. This is not a sit-back-and-observe contract. They need someone who is hands-on with people, delivery and ways of working. You will work closely with stakeholders, including the Product Manager, help bring more structure, and keep delivery moving at a sensible pace. There is also a good bit of cultural change underway, so you will be guiding the team through that shift and helping them get comfortable with a more modern, product-focused setup.
