Dyad is seeking a Vice President of Engineering to lead and scale our technical organisation as we move from early traction into sustained delivery at scale. This is a senior engineering leadership role, focused on organisational effectiveness, execution, and alignment. The VP of Engineering is responsible for building and leading high-performing teams and delivery systems, rather than acting as an individual contributor. You will be accountable for delivery across Engineering and Applied AI, working in close partnership with product leadership to ensure work is prioritised, sequenced, and executed in line with business reality. You will absorb organisational and technical complexity so that teams can focus on building high-quality products. This role is offered on a hybrid basis, with a minimum of two days per week from our London office. Core responsibilities Own the reliability and predictability of technical delivery across Engineering and Applied AI. Ensure work is prioritised and sequenced in line with business goals, regulatory constraints, and external commitments.

Actively manage technical debt and architectural drift to ensure long-term sustainability of the platform. Ensure teams understand not just what they are building, but why. Organisational leadership & cohesion Enable Engineering, Applied AI, Product, and Design to operate as a single, integrated system. Reduce friction caused by misalignment, unclear ownership, or communication breakdowns. Coach and develop engineering managers and technical leads, raising leadership maturity across the organisation. Support constructive conflict resolution and prevent siloed or local optimisations that undermine global outcomes. Reduce dependency on founders for day-to-day coordination and execution decisions. Technical leadership & decision-making Facilitate high-quality technical decision-making without centralising architectural control. Act as an arbiter and synthesiser, helping teams surface trade-offs, assess risk, and reach aligned decisions. Lead the formulation of recommendations on delivery- or business-impacting technical decisions for senior leadership. Participate meaningfully in architectural and design discussions through judgment, questioning, and pattern recognition rather than hands on implementation. Product & regulatory partnership Partner closely with product leadership to establish a healthy, sustainable product-engineering cadence. Treat regulatory and compliance requirements as first-class design constraints in a medical device context. Work constructively with Quality and Regulatory teams to embed compliance into everyday engineering practice. Help teams balance innovation with regulatory intent, minimising unnecessary process while preserving rigour. Requirements Experience & background Significant experience in senior engineering leadership roles (VP Engineering, Director of Engineering, or equivalent) within product led technology organisations. Strong professional software engineering background, with the credibility to engage deeply on technical and architectural topics. Experience leading multidisciplinary technical teams, ideally including applied AI or data intensive systems. Track record of improving delivery reliability, organisational maturity, and cross team alignment in complex environments. Experience operating in regulated or high assurance domains (e.g. healthcare, fintech, safety critical systems) is strongly preferred. Leadership first mindset, with comfort influencing through alignment, clarity, and judgment rather than direct control. Proven ability to coach and develop engineering managers and technical leaders. Comfortable managing up: surfacing risk, challenging assumptions, and framing trade offs clearly with senior stakeholders. Able to operate effectively in environments with ambiguity, competing priorities, and evolving organisational structures. Technical judgment Broad and deep understanding of modern software engineering practices, architectures, and delivery models. Ability to recognise over complexity, hidden risk, and long term maintainability issues. Not expected to write production code, but expected to engage meaningfully in technical decision making. Personal attributes Calm, structured, and systems oriented approach to leadership. Pragmatic and outcome focused, without sacrificing engineering quality. Comfortable operating in tension between speed, quality, innovation, and compliance. Motivated by building environments where strong engineers can do their best work.

We are building a platform to model and manage the flow of information within healthcare organisations, improving outcomes for patients, payers, and healthcare providers. We believe data handling in current healthcare systems is needlessly complex and disconnected, leading to isolated and inefficient decision making. To showcase how this technology can advance the delivery of healthcare and improve lives, we build and deploy products for healthcare providers and payers into the UK and US markets. Dyad is an energetic, health tech startup, currently around forty employees. Our team is growing as we explore new markets and opportunities. We are passionate about technology and its applications in worthwhile ventures. New joiners will have a significant impact on the direction of the company, as well as our culture.

We're looking for an inspiring leader to be the driving force behind Killerton. The General Manager leads from the front, encouraging and empowering their team and covering a wide range of operations. In this role, you'll be turning strategy into reality. You'll build an inclusive culture where everyone can feel they belong, the people who work and volunteer here, the people who regularly visit and love it, and the people who've never been before and don't yet know that this place is for them too. What it's like to work here Reporting to the Assistant Director of Operations, you'll be supported by national and regional specialists to deliver great experiences for visitors and look after our places. In this leadership role, you'll have the autonomy and independence to adapt our national strategy into local plans that respond to the local environment and context. You'll also be part of a dynamic wider General Manager community, committed to providing access to nature, beauty and history. You'll work with other leaders in the culture and arts sector and have an opportunity to be part of the National Trust's pioneering work in telling the unique stories of our places and growing our supporter base. What you'll be doing You'll manage several departmental heads, each with their own areas of focus such as the garden, facilities, visitor experience, curatorship and the care of precious art and objects. You'll be working with regional teams covering commercial operations and the let estate, and with the Trust's internal consultancy: a flexible resource of specialist skills and expertise. You'll encourage your team to succeed across all their areas, and to build the funds to invest back into improvements and conservation work here. And you'll build plans for this place, working with others to give it a future that can benefit everyone. You'll provide inspirational leadership for staff and volunteers, and you'll inspire them to create the best possible all-round experience for everyone who visits. You'll manage risk and compliance, and you'll champion the conservation of nature, buildings and precious collections. You'll be working with all kinds of people and making things happen. As an 'expert generalist', you'll have a diverse remit. We have high visitor and revenue targets to meet, so you'll be experienced with finances, people and projects.
