We’vebuiltabrand newEngineering Excellence function – a team focused on raising the bar across our entire engineering organisation.

Thisisn’ta role where you owna single productor write code day-to-day. Instead,you’llsit at the centre of engineering,productand platform, driving improvements in standards, tooling,frameworksand developer experience to help our teams deliver better,fasterand more reliably.

You’llplay a critical role in shaping how we use AI and internal tooling to unlock engineering productivity at scale.

Whatyou’llbe doing

• Lead and develop ateam of engineers, creating a culture of ownership,qualityand continuous improvement

• Define and evolve engineering standards,frameworksand best practices acrossthe entire engineering organisation

• Drive improvements in software quality, testing strategy,observabilityand release confidence

• Partner with engineering, platform,productand security to deliver large-scale, cross-functional improvements

• Shape and deliver internal tooling and AI-assisted engineering workflows to improve how we build and run software

• Influence senior stakeholders and guide teams towards modern,scalableand resilient engineering practices

• Use data and insight toidentifyopportunities and prioritise where to focus

What makes this role different

• High influence, low ego – success comes from enabling others, not doing it all yourself

• AI-first focus –you’llhelp define how AI is used to improve engineering at NewDay

• Built from scratch – a rare opportunity to shape a brand-new function

• A track recordof influencing across engineering,productand platform teams

• Deep understanding of areas like CI/CD, observability,testingand resilience

• Experience leading teams and delivering cross-org initiatives

• A pragmatic, outcome-focused approach with strong stakeholder management
