The work is meaningful, high-impact, and visible at the highest levels of the company.

You’ll inherit a strong, ambitious team, step into a problem space that is still in discovery, and shape both delivery and people outcomes during a pivotal phase of growth.

  • Own delivery for a high-visibility, business-critical initiative directly connected to our market expansion efforts

  • Set high standards for technical and execution excellence, continually raising the bar

  • Collaborate closely with Product and Design partners to shape impactful solutions from early discovery through landing

  • Apply your engineering background to give clear technical guidance

  • Navigate complexity and ambiguity, helping your team thrive in a dynamic, fast-paced environment

What We’re Looking For

  • Proven experience as a senior Engineering Manager leading product teams to success

  • Strong engineering background with the ability to engage meaningfully in technical discussions and support decision-making

  • Experience operating in ambiguous, fast-paced environments, embracing new challenges and learning quickly

  • Track record of coaching and growing engineers to the next level

  • Skilled at fostering a healthy, inclusive team culture and navigating people dynamics with empathy and professionalism

  • Collaborative leadership style with excellent stakeholder management abilities and a track record of effective cross-functional collaboration

Why Personio

At Personio, we believe in hybrid working that balances flexibility with in-person collaboration. This role is office-based, with 2 days per week required in our London office.

You’ll also enjoy:

  • Competitive compensation, including salary, benefits, and pre-IPO equity

  • 1 fully paid Impact Day per year to make a difference in your community
