Forcepoint is looking for an Engineering Development Manager to lead and grow a high-performing software development team within the DSPM business unit. In this role you will balance technical credibility with people leadership — translating roadmap priorities into executable engineering plans, fostering a culture of delivery excellence, and developing your team's skills and careers. You will work closely with Product Management, Architecture, and peer engineering leaders to ensure DSPM's capabilities are built to the highest standards of quality, security, and scalability.

Conduct regular 1:1s, performance reviews, and career development conversations; actively coach and mentor direct reports
Manage headcount planning, hiring, and onboarding of new engineering talent in partnership with HR and Talent Acquisition
Act as a point of escalation for technical and delivery issues, removing blockers and unblocking the team
Collaborate with peer engineering leaders across Forcepoint to ensure architectural alignment and shared standards
Champion Agile delivery practices across DSPM, using data — cycle time, lead time, deployment frequency — to drive improvement
Skills and Abilities
Strong engineering background with the ability to engage credibly at a technical level with engineers and architects
Proven people management skills — experienced at growing, retaining, and inspiring engineering talent
Excellent communication skills: able to translate technical complexity for non-technical stakeholders and senior leadership
Strong delivery mindset — ownership, accountability, and a clear bias for action
Comfortable operating in a fast-paced, globally distributed engineering organisation with competing priorities
Analytically minded: uses delivery data to make informed decisions and drive continuous improvement
Education and Experience
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent experience)
