The role
We’re looking for a hands-on Senior Director of Technology to own the delivery of our internal tools, tracking infrastructure, marketing tech stack, and website platforms, with the Director of Product reporting into this role. This isn’t a pure strategy role - you’ll roll up your sleeves to identify bottlenecks, implement critical fixes, and work closely with developers and business teams to drive measurable outcomes. You’ll lead a team of managers and engineers across multiple locations. Still, you’ll also act as a key problem-solver yourself, particularly on cross-functional challenges spanning tech, product, SEO, and marketing.
What you will be doing:
- Lead and mentor a team of tech managers and senior developers across multiple locations and time zones
- Own the engineering roadmap, processes, and delivery across our core platforms and tools
- Drive technical excellence, scalability, and security across our infrastructure and products
- Ensure that Tech collaborates closely with Product, SEO, Data, Design, and Commercial teams to align tech priorities with business strategy
- Improve workflows, deployment pipelines, QA processes, and engineering metrics
- Champion a culture of ownership, innovation, and continuous improvement
- Attract and retain top technical talent to support our growth
Who we are looking for:
- 10+ years of engineering experience, with 5+ years in leadership roles
- Proven experience scaling engineering teams in high-growth digital businesses
- Deep understanding of modern web technologies, cloud infrastructure (e.g. AWS), and scalable architecture
- Experience working with SEO-focused platforms, affiliate ecosystems, or performance marketing is a strong plus
- Experience working on the development of multiple websites across different markets and content management systems, such as Wordpress
- Strong grasp of Agile methodologies and product development lifecycles
- Excellent communication, prioritisation, and stakeholder management skills
- A bias toward action, paired with a strategic mindset and analytical rigor
What we are offering:
- Daily Office Lunches: Varied menu options, including vegan choices, for a delightful lunch experience.
- 25 Days of Vacation: Take advantage of our generous vacation entitlement to relax and travel.
- Birthday Leave: It's your special day, so you get a day off to celebrate it!
- 'Me Time Day': Take a paid day off to focus on self-care and your mental health.
- Volunteer Day: Give back to your local community and receive a day off for this generous act!
- Career Progression: We support your professional development and provide guidance to ensure your constant growth.
- Learning Budget: Enjoy diving into learning with Udemy and enhance your hard and soft skills.
- Annual Wellbeing Benefit: Each employee receives a €400 budget per year to allocate for purpose from the approved list, that will contribute to their overall wellbeing.
- Vibrant Office Culture: Enjoy our lively and supportive office atmosphere daily, complemented by a calendar of both in-house and external events and parties to foster connections with colleagues.
- Private Health Insurance: Generous coverage with a strong network of providers, including a sublimit for psychotherapy because we support your mental wellbeing, physical therapy specifically tailored for addressing potential impacts related to sitting jobs, and much more.
