Our take: The real work here is leading engineers through other leaders to build a multi-market European bank, creating clarity and alignment across many teams where influence matters more than authority.
If you get energised by ambiguity and love building order out of it, this is a chance to help stand up a European bank from the ground up, leading through other leaders across the UK, Spain and remote teams. The real reward here is influence rather than command: you win by building relationships, growing engineering managers into senior leaders, and finding what works in brand new markets. Come if you would rather solve tangled organisational and business problems than own a single tidy product area.
