Capital on Tap - (Group) Engineering Manager

• As an Engineering Manager, you’ll own the health, delivery and direction of several product engineering teams and the Team Leads who run them. You’ll be a true product partner: your teams exist to build the features and propositions that unlock new commercial revenue streams, win new customers and grow revenue from the ones we already serve. You’ll make sure what they build is architecturally sound, scalable and built to last.
