What will I be doing?

- You will be focused on a domain within our Engineering function, our area that works directly with clients to leverage the Kaluza platform to meet client needs in new regions.

- You will manage teams of engineers, up to 10 direct reports. Engineering Managers contribute to both the technical and product vision of their teams, making sure that their products are successful.

- You’ll nurture the engineering talent in your teams, encouraging personal development, managing performance and ensuring everyone is aligned with product delivery objectives.

- You’re unlikely to be particularly hands-on with the code, but will have enough technical experience to be able to contribute to and guide technical discussions, bringing the big picture context.

- You’ll work closely with our clients, alongside product managers and client success teams, to ensure we are delivering real value within their wider programme.

- You’ll work closely with engineers in your team and your peers to contribute to and drive the technical roadmap and strategy for your area.

- You’ll be a champion of operational excellence in your area and help your team be the best they can be.

- You’ll find the right channels to remove impediments and unblock your team to help them meet their product delivery objectives.

We offer flexible working, with an expectation of 3 days a week in the office. This gives us the best of both: real time together to collaborate and build relationships, with the flexibility to work in the way that suits you best the rest of the week.

Kaluza Values

Here at Kaluza we have five core values that guide us as a business:

Play to win, Solve the real problem, Build trust every day, Own the outcome, Go further together

What will set you apart

Kaluza is a global business, as a result the person in this role will be required to travel as part of commercial and deployment activities. By way of a guide, it’s possible that between 4 and 6 business trips a year will be required.

Even better? You’ll have access to these benefits from day 1 when you join.

We want the best people

We’re keen to meet people from all walks of life — our view is that the more inclusive we are, the better our work will be. We want to build teams which represent a variety of experiences, perspectives and skills, and we recognise talent on the basis of merit and potential.

We understand some people may not apply for jobs unless they tick every box. But if you're excited about joining us and think you have some of what we're looking for, even if you're not 100% sure, we'd still love to hear from you.
