Your Role

We're hiring an Engineering Manager to join our Global Football and Rugby (GFR) division, overseeing two squads building the data infrastructure layer that feeds our customer-facing products like Statsbomb and Insight, flagship analytics products for global football.

As an Engineering Manager, you'll:

• Lead with technical excellence. You'll work closely with engineers to ensure we're building high-quality, scalable software the right way, being involved in architecture and system design.
• Drive product delivery. You'll partner with senior product managers and QA to understand business value, negotiate trade-offs, and oversee the successful shipment of new features in a fast-paced environment.
• Empower your team. You'll manage approximately eight engineers across two squads, focusing on their growth and wellness while building a high-performing, healthy team culture.
• Champion AI-first engineering. We're heavily invested in an AI-first mindset, and you'll encourage your team to use AI tools and modern tech to stay ahead of the curve.
• Enable other squads to build on top of you. This role succeeds when other Hudl squads move faster because of what your team builds. You'll measure success by the number of squads migrated and capabilities unlocked.

Location

For this role, we're currently considering candidates who are within commuting distance of our offices in London, but we're also open to remote candidates in the U.K.

Must-Haves

• Experienced. You have 3+ years of experience in engineering management, ideally with a background as an individual contributor or tech lead on platform, API or data infrastructure teams. Product EM experience is valued; this role requires platform depth alongside it.
