The posting

Company Description

Hi! We're UW. We’re on a mission to take the headache out of utilities by providing them all in one place. One bill for energy, broadband, mobile and insurance and a whole lot of savings!

We’re aiming to double in size as we help more people to stop wasting time and money—big ambitions, to be delivered by people like you.

Got your attention? Read on…

The challenge

For our customers and Partners, UW just needs to work – there when you need it, and invisible when you don’t. Just like flicking a switch.

Our proposition to customers is simple, but for our technology teams, the behind-the-scenes complexity is what makes it so interesting. Learn more about life in our Tech teams here.

Job Description

We work together. Your team and the people you will work with…

You’ll work closely with a small team of engineers, supporting both the technical direction and the people behind it. This role blends hands-on involvement with leadership, helping guide delivery while staying connected to the details when needed.

You’ll collaborate with product manager to shape priorities, balance new work with ongoing improvements, and keep the team focused and supported. You’ll also connect with other leaders across the organisation to share practices and help strengthen our engineering culture as we grow.

We deliver progress. What you’ll do and how you will make an impact.

As an Engineering Manager at UW you create clarity, consistency, and momentum in your squad. You set direction, ensure high standards in both delivery and quality, and balance short-term goals with long-term sustainability. You invest in people through coaching, feedback, and development, while fostering a positive team culture.

You coordinate with your squad — and others as needed — to ensure organisation-wide on-call coverage. You drive the squad to operational excellence, leading regular metrics reviews to ensure high coverage and performance
  • Planning & Delivery: Work with the Product Manager and team to set objectives and key results (OKRs) that align with company goals. You identify risks and blockers early and work with stakeholders to mitigate them. You measure team performance so that you can continually improve it. You communicate team progress against OKRs, key performance indicators (KPIs) and other milestones to relevant stakeholders. You co-lead annual and quarterly planning for your squad.
  • People & Coaching: You ensure the squad is staffed with the technical skillsets to deliver objectives, developing skills within team members and/or hiring as needed. You onboard, train, develop and coach your reports to facilitate their career growth. You participate in performance calibration and promotion reviews for your squad.
  • Business & Domain knowledge: Understand and communicate company, department, and pillar strategy and goals to your squad. You interact with stakeholders from across the business in order to provide insight and context to their teams.
  • Leadership & Culture: Teach our culture to others and foster a healthy dynamic within your team. You help to resolve interpersonal conflicts and gather, share and act on feedback. You effectively communicate company and department changes to your squad. With help from your manager, you raise the team's voice to senior leadership. You collaborate effectively with cross-functional colleagues, such as UX and data. You co-lead your squad with your squad's Product Manager.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
