The role

As Engineering Manager, you will lead a cross-functional team of engineers, a designer and data scientists, building intelligent products that use machine learning and AI.
You will take ownership of the payment intelligence products we have already built, and work with your team and product manager to decide what we build next.

You will be accountable for the quality, delivery and operation of everything the team ships, and you will look after your people through 1:1s, feedback and career development.

- Plan and prioritise impactful technical investment initiatives for your teams
- Be a reflection of the GC Values that help us work with one another effectively
