About the role

  • Software Engineering Programme Manager leading delivery of Dexory’s robotics and data-intelligence programmes. Ensuring high-velocity cadence and collaboration across engineering teams in a dynamic environment.

Responsibilities

  • Orchestrate cross-functional programmes, maintaining clear visibility of dependencies, risks, and delivery timelines.
  • Chair twice-weekly 'pit-stop' stand-ups with engineering leads to surface blockers and drive rapid decisions.
  • Translate strategic objectives into sprint-based roadmaps, with clearly defined milestones every 2–4 weeks.
  • Lead engineering operations metrics and programme visibility, designing comprehensive measurement frameworks that drive from data, to insight, and through to action.
  • Own the engineering metrics strategy, establishing key performance indicators for sprint velocity, cycle time, deployment frequency, lead time, and quality metrics to drive operational excellence.
  • Design and implement programme performance dashboards that enable data-driven decision making and objective accountability.
  • Enable and coach teams to leverage data insights for improved delivery planning, risk identification, and quality outcomes.
  • Own 'failure-mode' post-mortems after each deployment cycle, capturing lessons and accelerating root-cause fixes with data-backed analysis.
  • Collaborate with teams to design and implement best practice processes and data structures in project management tooling, building new functionality and streamlining workflows.
  • Standardise project delivery frameworks (e.g., stage-gate or agile variants).
  • Identify process bottlenecks in software integration, sprint execution, and cross-team dependencies, and drive events and ownership to eliminate lead-time.

Requirements

  • Proven track record in engineering project or programme management, ideally within robotics, automotive, or high-tech manufacturing.
  • Experience working in a fast environment where problems need to be solved quickly.
  • Strong understanding of agile methodologies with a focus on continuous improvement and iterative delivery.
