- Budget & Forecasting: Maintain engineering cost forecasts and drive budget planning cycles alongside the Director of Engineering, flagging variances before they become issues.
- Internal Runbooks: Develop and maintain the documentation and processes that keep engineering operations running smoothly.
- Efficiency Hunter: Identify friction points in how the engineering function operates and drive the initiatives to fix them.
- Comms & Culture: Support internal communications for engineering programmes and initiatives, ensuring everyone is aligned and informed.
