We're always keen to welcome talented individuals to join our expanding team. So if you're driven, with a passion for developing simple software solutions, creating great user experiences, designing scalable solutions for real business challenges and ensuring customer happiness then we're looking for you! IS THIS SOMETHING THAT INTERESTS YOU? Foods Connected has built a mature, functionality-rich platform over the last 10 years, used by some of the largest food retail and food manufacturing companies in the world. We are a PE-backed company operating across the UK, Australia, and North America, and engineering sits at the centre of our growth strategy. Our engineering organisation is evolving. We are moving toward smaller, more autonomous engineering teams with greater ownership of outcomes, supported by AI-augmented development practices and modern tooling. This transition is underway but not complete, and the Director of Engineering will play a central role in making it real. The Director of Engineering is a senior leadership role that sits between the CTO and the engineering teams. The CTO remains accountable for overall technology vision and alignment with product and commercial strategy. The Director of Engineering is accountable for translating that vision into consistent execution, scalable systems, and high-performing teams. You will partner closely with the CTO on technical strategy and organisational direction, and work downward through senior Technical Leads and the Engineering Manager to ensure teams are delivering with quality, pace, and genuine ownership. You will have organisational oversight of an engineering department of 50+ people spanning Graduate to Principal level. This role owns the operational rhythm of engineering, technical standards and consistency, and the day-to-day engineering leadership that enables the CTO to focus on innovation, product direction, and commercial strategy. You will have decision-making authority over engineering practices, team structure, and technical standards, and will be expected to make calls and own the outcomes. As a member of the Engineering Division Leadership Team, you will collaborate with the Director of Data and the Director of Infrastructure and Security to ensure cohesive execution across the technology organisation. This is a PE-backed environment where engineering decisions carry commercial weight. The platform carries technical debt alongside production systems that enterprise customers depend on daily. There is an ongoing modernisation effort, legacy components that require pragmatic decisions, and teams adapting to a new operating model with greater autonomy and AI-augmented practices. You will need to balance architecture evolution with feature delivery, bring people through change, and represent engineering reality clearly when timelines, cost, and risk come under pressure. RESPONSIBILITIES: Strategic Leadership and Engineering Evolution (35%) Partner with the CTO to define and execute long-term engineering strategy aligned with company objectives and the product roadmap. Act as a core member of the Engineering Division Leadership Team alongside the Director of Data and Director of Infrastructure and Security. Drive the evolution of engineering practices, including the effective adoption of AI-augmented development to improve quality, throughput, and developer experience. Shape how engineering teams are structured and operate, moving toward greater autonomy and ownership while maintaining alignment and shared standards. Build strong working relationships with Product, Customer Success, and other cross-functional leaders. Own engineering talent strategy including recruitment, retention, succession planning, and career development. Represent engineering in executive forums and board-level discussions, providing clear and honest visibility into progress, risks, and trade-offs. Communicate engineering strategy, priorities, and constraints clearly across senior leadership and delivery teams. Technical Direction and Architecture (30%) Own the execution of the technical direction for the platform, ensuring architectural decisions support scalability, reliability, and long-term maintainability. Work with the CTO to ensure technical direction remains aligned with product and commercial strategy. Drive pragmatic decisions on modernisation, refactoring, and legacy investment, balancing risk, cost, and customer impact. Own and enforce technical standards across teams, ensuring consistency without unnecessary centralisation. Work closely with senior Technical Leads to ensure high-quality, consistent architectural and design decisions. Lead or sponsor critical technical design reviews and guide teams through complex engineering challenges. Define expectations for AI-augmented development, including tooling standards, acceptable use, and how quality and productivity gains are measured. Stay current with relevant emerging technologies and evaluate their practical application to Foods Connected's platforms. Be technically credible by engaging meaningfully in architectural discussions and challenging proposals where needed, without being a day-to-day code contributor. Enabling Delivery and Operational Excellence (35%) Work through the Engineering Manager and senior Technical Leads to ensure teams have the clarity, support, and tooling required to deliver effectively. Own the operational rhythm of engineering, including planning cadence, delivery coordination, and cross-team alignment. Set clear expectations for delivery quality and pace while supporting teams as they build greater autonomy. Drive process improvements that reduce friction and overhead rather than adding bureaucracy. Balance concurrent priorities across feature delivery, platform evolution, and technical debt reduction. Act as the senior escalation point for delivery, quality, and technical risk issues Coordinate closely with the Director of Data and Director of Infrastructure and Security to ensure integrated execution across the Engineering Division. Manage stakeholder and customer expectations regarding technical capabilities, timelines, and trade-offs. EXPERIENCE AND QUALIFICATIONS: To perform this job successfully, the Director of Engineering should have experience with: MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS Significant experience in a senior engineering leadership role with responsibility for large, complex teams Proven track record evolving mature platforms in production environments with real users and real technical debt Demonstrated ability to lead through technical influence rather than positional authority Experience operating in a PE-backed, investor-backed, or high-growth environment Experience working alongside a technically involved CTO is beneficial TECHNICAL SKILLS Deep understanding of modern software development practices and delivery models Strong background in C#, .NET, JavaScript, React, SQL Server, Azure, and Kubernetes Experience with cloud platforms, distributed systems, and modern DevOps practices Working knowledge of AI-augmented development tools and practices, with a pragmatic approach to adoption Ability to evaluate new technologies strategically rather than chasing trends BENEFITS: Competitive Base Salary Generous Holiday Package - 25 Days + 10 Public Holidays Private Medical, Dental & Vision Employee Wellness Program and Classes Flexible model of hybrid working

Engineer Logistics-First ABM Plays: Design and implement highly targeted ABM strategies that resonate with the specific pain points of freight forwarders and global logistics providers. You'll command their attention through genuine understanding of their operational challenges, focusing on high-velocity LinkedIn and Integrated Media programs. Command the Funnel (MQL to SQO): Design high-velocity, multi-channel campaigns-with a heavy focus on LinkedIn and Integrated Media-to acquire and accelerate opportunities through the sales funnel. Operationalize the Revenue Stack: Manage our CRM and automation tools (HubSpot) with clinical precision, ensuring data integrity, elite lead nurturing, and real-time pipeline health.

You have deep experience or a rapid-learning familiarity with the logistics and supply chain industry, allowing you to speak the language of freight forwarders and global shippers with native ease. High-Agency Enterprise Growth Builder: You thrive in the high-stakes, "scrappy" phase of a scale-up where the path to revenue isn't always paved. You don't wait for a playbook; you have the proven enterprise experience to architect the demand generation strategy from scratch within a hyper-growth SaaS environment. You are a specialist in the "Mega-Deal" landscape, with a demonstrated track record of navigating 6-12 month sales cycles for transactions exceeding $100k ACV.

You know how to use intent data, personalized content, and targeted ads to crack strategic accounts and navigate complex buying committees. HubSpot & Tech Mastery: You are a power user of HubSpot and the modern revenue stack. You don't just "use" tools; you architect them to ensure data hygiene is a competitive advantage, not an afterthought. Data-Obsessed & ROI-Driven: You live in the metrics. You have a near-obsessive focus on MQL-to-SQO conversion rates and CAC/LTV, using data to decide where to double down and where to cut bait. AI-Native Mindset: You proactively leverage AI tools to accelerate content distribution, research accounts, and optimize campaign velocity. You represent the new guard of marketers who do more with smarter tools. Scaleup Collaboration: You lead through influence, possessing the strategic gravitas to align Sales and SDR teams under a single, high-velocity mission.

You won't be handed a roadmap. You'll identify what needs solving, build toward it, and own the outcome end-to-end. Impact is the measure. We don't track activity. We care about what actually moves the needle - for our customers, our product, and the industry we're reshaping. The problem is real, and the scale is global. The supply chain industry moves $19 trillion of goods a year. We're building the AI workforce that makes it run smarter. Your work will matter. You'll operate with autonomy. No micromanagement. No waiting for permission. We hire people who are self-directed and trust them to deliver. We're a multicultural team building something unprecedented. We work with the clarity and urgency of a team that knows what's at stake. If you care about impact and want your work to shape the future of AI supply chain - you'll thrive here.
