As an Engineering Manager, you will see your team as your product. Although you possess technical credibility and a deep understanding of the engineers' work, your primary focus will be on ensuring your team’s well-being, recruiting top talent, and positioning them for success. You will own the delivery of product commitments and continuously seek ways to improve productivity. Additionally, you will coordinate across departments to accomplish collaborative goals. This role is key to maintaining a robust digital ecosystem that supports Barclays' internal applications.

- Planning and executing long-term strategies that move your team and the product stage(s) toward business objectives. This includes decision-making, alignment, staffing, prioritization, leading through change, and working through ambiguity.
- Understanding Engineering KPIs and seeking to improve them.
- Leading and driving significant results for multiple teams that have a direct impact on the broader mission they contribute to. For example, managing engineering teams with a complex product/program scope, as well as leading business-critical cross-functional initiatives in addition to managing a team.
- Developing and executing process enhancements while strategically influencing leadership decisions across multiple organizational levels.
Other highly valued skills include:
- Knowledge or experience with web application development with programming skills such as Java, Spring, Spring Boot, React, Angular, etc.
