About Us Lyrebird Health builds AI tools that reduce the administrative burden on clinicians and improve the quality and accessibility of healthcare. Our platform is used daily by thousands of clinicians across multiple disciplines and continues to scale across markets including the UK. As we grow, we're focused on building technology that is reliable, clinically safe, and capable of operating at national scale. At Lyrebird, we value clear thinking, ownership, and people who take responsibility for outcomes. We move quickly, solve hard problems, and care deeply about building systems that genuinely improve how healthcare works. The Role We're hiring a Product Engineering Manager to own the technical delivery of Lyrebird deployments across the UK. Lyrebird builds clinical AI used daily by frontline clinicians.

This role sits at the intersection of engineering, product, and customer delivery. You'll lead the UK Forward Deployed Engineering team while staying close to the technical work, including integrations, deployment architecture, and complex production issues. Your job is to translate what's been sold into something that works reliably in production. That means defining integration approaches, sequencing deployments across customers, and ensuring implementation work strengthens the core platform rather than creating one-off solutions. Alongside delivery ownership, you'll manage a small team of Forward Deployed Engineers and set the standard for how technical delivery operates in the UK. What You'll Do Own the technical delivery of Lyrebird deployments across UK healthcare organisations Translate commercial agreements into clear technical implementation plans Define integration scope, architecture, and success criteria before work begins Drive progress across multiple active customer deployments Ensure systems reach production safely and predictably Surface delivery risks early and communicate clearly with stakeholders Lead and develop the UK Forward Deployed Engineering team Set clear milestones and technical standards across deployments Partner with Sales to validate technical feasibility before deals are committed Work closely with Customer Delivery on rollout sequencing and adoption Act as the senior technical voice in complex customer conversations Ensure integrations meet strong production standards including observability, environment separation, and rollback capability Escalate systemic product gaps back to the core engineering team What You'll Bring Experience in forward deployed, solutions, or customer-facing engineering roles Experience leading engineers or technical project teams Strong integration experience across APIs, data flows, and production systems Experience operating in regulated environments such as healthcare or finance A track record of managing multiple technical deployments in parallel Strong delivery discipline and ownership mindsetGood judgment when balancing scope, timelines, and trade-offs At Lyrebird, you don't just write code - we help shape the future of the human experience. If you want to pioneer, to create, and to see your work touch lives directly, we'd love to hear from you. We're building a team that reflects the diversity of the people who'll benefit from our work. We want Lyrebird to be a place where everyone feels safe, supported, and able to thrive. If you're from an underrepresented background in tech, we especially encourage you to apply - even if you don't meet every single requirement.

This is a newly created role within an expanding Primary Care division, offering the chance to operate at the centre of a dynamic business supplying medical products, equipment and operational support services to healthcare providers nationwide. The organisation forms part of a wider healthcare group and is entering a new phase of development as it continues to scale its services across the UK primary care market. As a result, the business is strengthening its finance capability to support better commercial decision making, improve financial visibility and ensure the organisation continues to grow profitably. This position offers significantly more scope than a traditional reporting finance role. The Finance Manager will work closely with divisional leadership to provide meaningful financial insight across a multi-product, multi-service commercial environment where revenue is generated through a combination of product distribution, equipment supply, service partnerships and operational support for healthcare providers. The Business The organisation specialises in supporting general practice and primary care organisations, working with GP surgeries, primary care networks and other healthcare providers across the UK. Its business model is centred around simplifying procurement and operational challenges for healthcare providers. In practical terms, the organisation supplies everything required for a GP practice to operate effectively, ranging from medical consumables and pharmaceutical products to diagnostic equipment and operational supplies. In addition to traditional healthcare product distribution, the business has developed a broader service offering that may include: diagnostic equipment supply and installation equipment servicing and calibration partnerships operational support services for GP practices procurement optimisation and supply consolidation This hybrid model creates a diverse commercial environment where revenue streams include product sales, service partnerships and project-based work. As the organisation continues to grow, financial insight into these revenue streams will become increasingly important. The Opportunity The Finance Manager will play a key role in strengthening the finance function and supporting the continued growth of the Primary Care division. Working closely with the Primary Care Director and Group CFO, the successful candidate will act as a commercial finance partner to the leadership team, helping translate financial data into meaningful insight that supports operational and strategic decisions. The role combines traditional management accounting responsibilities with a strong emphasis on commercial finance, business partnering and performance analysis. The successful candidate will support financial reporting, forecasting and planning across the division while also helping the leadership team understand profitability across products, services and customer segments. This is an excellent opportunity for a finance professional who enjoys working closely with operational teams and wants to contribute directly to the commercial success of a growing business. The Finance Manager will support both the financial performance and strategic development of the Primary Care division. Responsibilities will include preparing and presenting monthly financial performance reports, producing detailed management accounts and providing clear analysis of variances against budgets and forecasts. Working closely with divisional leadership, the role will also involve providing financial insight into commercial performance, supporting budgeting and forecasting processes and helping the business understand profitability across product categories, service offerings and customer segments. The position will also play a key role in strengthening financial reporting processes, improving forecasting capability and developing meaningful management information that enables better decision making across the organisation. In addition, the Finance Manager will support the development of the internal finance function, working with the existing finance team to ensure accurate financial control while introducing stronger commercial insight into the business. The business is currently implementing a new ERP system which will go live later this year. The Finance Manager will be closely involved in supporting the accounting and reporting elements of this implementation, ensuring that financial processes, reporting structures and system outputs support the needs of the leadership team. This presents an opportunity to contribute to the development of financial systems and processes that will support the organisation's continued growth. Candidate Profile This role is ideally suited to a qualified accountant who enjoys operating within a commercial environment and working closely with operational stakeholders. Applicants should be fully qualified (ACA, ACCA or CIMA or equivalent) and comfortable working in a finance role that combines management accounting, financial analysis and commercial business partnering. Candidates may currently hold a Finance Manager, Commercial Finance Manager, Finance Business Partner or Senior Management Accountant title and be seeking an opportunity to broaden their commercial exposure within a growing business. Experience gained within sectors such as healthcare supply, medical consumables, pharmaceutical distribution, medical devices, healthcare logistics or other B2B distribution environments would be advantageous, although candidates from other product and service-based commercial businesses may also find their experience highly transferable. The successful candidate will demonstrate strong analytical capability, commercial awareness and the ability to translate financial data into practical business insight. The confidence to challenge and influence non-finance stakeholders are also essential.
