Head of Software Engineering
Cardiff | 2 days onsite | £80,000 - £90,000

We're looking for a Head of Software Engineering to play a key role in a large-scale digital transformation programme. This is a senior leadership opportunity for someone who can bring both technical credibility and strong people management skills, while guiding a team through significant change.

• Lead and develop a team of around 12 engineers (mix of permanent and contract staff).

• Provide direction across modern technologies including Power Platform, .NET, and Dataverse, while helping upskill developers from Legacy backgrounds.

• Drive adoption of best practices, agile delivery, and a "one team" culture.

• Work closely with data architects and oversee delivery across multiple projects.

• Act as a mentor and change leader, helping the team embrace a modern tech stack and new ways of working.

• Experienced leader of software engineering or development teams.

• Proven track record managing teams working with Power Platform solutions (Dataverse, .NET, integrations).

• Strong technical background (not necessarily hands-on now, but able to guide and challenge).

• Skilled at leading teams through digital transformation and cultural change.

• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.

This is a fantastic opportunity to influence and shape the future of software engineering within a business that is modernising at pace.
