Here’s a summary of the role:

Lead a strong engineering team, deliver software that matters, and help people do the best work of their careers. This is a hands-on team management role for someone who enjoys combining people leadership, technical fluency, and modern AI-enabled ways of working to build reliable products at scale.

You’ll lead engineers building secure, scalable microservices and APIs using TypeScript and AWS. You’ll partner closely with Product, Security, DevOps, and peer engineering leaders to deliver roadmap outcomes, improve team effectiveness, and create an environment where engineers can grow, own their work, and build high-quality systems with confidence.

Here’s a breakdown of what you’ll do, not all of it, just the important stuff:

• Lead, coach, and support a team of engineers, creating clarity around priorities, ownership, expectations, and growth goals.
• Partner with Product, Security, DevOps, and peer engineering leaders to plan and deliver roadmap commitments while balancing quality, pace, and sustainability.
• Create a healthy delivery environment by improving team processes, removing blockers, supporting planning and estimation, and reinforcing strong engineering practices.
• Maintain enough technical depth to guide design discussions, challenge risks, review trade-offs, and support the team in building secure and maintainable systems.
• Use AI tools and encourage responsible AI-assisted ways of working that improve productivity while protecting privacy, security, quality, and good judgment.
• Support hiring, feedback, performance conversations, and career development so the team continues to grow in capability and confidence.

These are the essentials you’ll need to get an interview:

• 8 or more years of software engineering experience, including experience leading projects and supporting or managing engineers in an agile product environment.
• Experience managing teams that build cloud-native microservices in AWS.
• Strong people leadership skills, with experience coaching engineers, building accountability, and helping teams plan and deliver effectively.
• A solid technical background in backend engineering, including Node.js, TypeScript, AWS, APIs, and production systems supported by SQL or NoSQL data stores.
• Good understanding of CI/CD, observability, incident support, and modern engineering practices such as Docker-based workflows and infrastructure as code.
• Practical understanding of AI-enabled engineering and product use cases, including common LLM concepts and considerations such as privacy, security, bias, governance, and cost.
• Clear communication skills, with the ability to work effectively with engineers, product managers, and senior stakeholders.
• A quality, security, and delivery mindset, with the judgment to balance business outcomes, team health, and sustainable engineering practices.

It would be great if you had these too, but we’ll support you if you don’t:

• Exposure to hiring, organizational planning, or broader cross-team delivery initiatives.
• Experience helping teams adopt AI-assisted development tools or AI-enabled product capabilities in a practical and responsible way.

You will need to be as comfortable chairing our Change Advisory Board (CAB) and influencing senior stakeholders as you are coaching a change agent or product manager through the change process for the first time. 

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

Change Strategy & Framework 

• Define, implement, and continuously improve a structured change management methodology aligned to an industry-recognised framework (e.g. Prosci/ADKAR, Kotter, or equivalent), building a repeatable, scalable approach that can grow with the team. 

• Develop and maintain the organisation's change management standards, templates, and playbooks for digital initiative rollouts. 

• Assess the change impact and organisational readiness for each initiative, tailoring the approach to the scale, risk, and complexity of each rollout. 

• Ensure change management activities are fully embedded within the agile delivery framework, integrated from project inception through to post-launch adoption rather than treated as a downstream activity. 

• Ensure that all change initiatives are clearly positioned within the broader Group strategy, reinforcing organisational priorities and helping employees understand the strategic rationale behind digital transformation efforts. 

• Build the change management capability of the TDS team and wider business, creating shared language and consistent practices. 

• Define how change management success is measured, ensuring all metrics and outcomes are aligned to the organisation's existing benefits realisation framework, and incorporating employee engagement, sentiment, and change readiness indicators in collaboration with Communications and People teams. 

Change Advisory Board (CAB) 

• Co-Chair the CAB, joowning the agenda, process, and rigour of change request reviews across the TDS portfolio. 

• Ensure that change requests are assessed consistently, with appropriate stakeholder representation and clear decision-making on approval, deferral, or rejection. 

• Coach both change agents and product managers on the CAB process, building understanding and confidence in how to prepare, present, and respond to change requests effectively. 

• Continuously improve the CAB process to keep pace with the volume and complexity of digital change across the organisation. 

Digital Initiative Delivery 

• Partner with Product Managers and the PMO to embed change management activities into the agile delivery lifecycle from inception through to post-launch adoption. 

• Develop and execute change plans for concurrent digital rollouts, managing competing priorities and timelines across the TDS portfolio. 

• Track adoption and benefits realisation against agreed metrics, providing clear and regular reporting to senior stakeholders in line with the organisation's benefits realisation framework. 

• Lead post-implementation reviews to capture lessons learned and continuously improve the change approach. 

Change Agent Network 

• Identify, engage, and develop a network of change agents across the business to act as champions for digital initiatives within their teams. 

• Coach change agents on change management principles and practice, equipping them with the tools, messaging, and confidence they need to drive adoption locally. 

• Maintain strong, trust-based relationships with change agents, acting as their primary point of contact and escalation route throughout each rollout. 

Stakeholder Engagement & Internal Communications 

• Map and manage stakeholder groups across each initiative, developing targeted engagement strategies based on impact and influence. 

• Work in partnership with the Communications & Branding team to develop and coordinate internal communications, ensuring messaging is aligned to the Group’s strategic narrative, fully on-brand, clear, timely, and tailored to the audience, in line with established communications governance and approval processes. 

• All internal communications will be developed in partnership with the Communications & Branding team, who retain ownership of tone of voice, messaging standards, brand alignment, and channel governance. 

• Facilitate workshops, roadshows, and briefing sessions to build awareness and desire for change across affected teams. 

• Provide coaching and support to senior leaders to help them fulfil their role as visible and effective change sponsors, establishing clear expectations and accountability for active leadership throughout each initiative lifecycle. 

Training & Enablement 

• Identify training needs arising from digital rollouts and coordinate the development and delivery of appropriate learning interventions. 

• Ensure end users are fully equipped to adopt new tools, processes, and ways of working before go-live. 

• Develop self-service enablement resources to support ongoing adoption beyond the initial rollout period. 

Risk & Resistance Management 

• Proactively identify resistance to change and develop targeted mitigation strategies to address it. 

• Escalate material change risks to the Head of Product & PMO and relevant project sponsors, with recommended actions. 

• Monitor adoption and usage data post-launch, identifying areas where additional support or intervention is needed. 

SKILLS & COMPETENCIES

To be successful in this role, you will demonstrate:

• Deep expertise in at least one industry-recognised change management methodology (e.g. Prosci/ADKAR, Kotter, or similar), with the ability to adapt and evolve the approach to suit the organisation.

• Strong understanding of how technology and digital change affects people, processes, and culture  and what it takes to make adoption stick.

We work with a variety of clients from different industries, collaborating as we get new products to market, modernizing legacy systems, or helping teams learn the skills they need to be successful.   

Our values:

• Listen first • We are experts in product practices but life long learners in the domain of our customers. We research, collaborate, and understand. 
• Learn why • We ask questions and talk to users to understand problem spaces, objectives, and goals, which allows us to deeply invest and drive towards the outcomes of our clients. 
• Love your craft • We love diving into a variety of domains and solving problems.  We take pride in delivering value, in communicating progress, and guiding our clients to success.

At Focused, our Engineers are both practitioners and experts in their craft. This role would play a crucial role in shaping and implementing engineering best practices and ensuring the successful delivery of complex software projects. With clients, we develop trust and influence - we are unintimidated and unintimidating. With colleagues, we set the standard for how we deliver success for clients.

What would you be doing?

• Writing lots of code
• Lead teams through end-to-end delivery across the stack, from backend services to modern web UIs.
• Pair program daily with teammates and clients to share knowledge, improve code quality, and grow together.
• Practice TDD and continuous refactoring to ensure code is reliable, maintainable, and understandable.
• Guide architecture decisions to support scalability, observability, and performance.
• Collaborate closely with designers, product managers, and stakeholders to continuously deliver valuable software.
• Coach developers on the team through pairing, mentoring, and modeling healthy engineering culture.
• Influence technical direction beyond the team, working across client orgs and Focused’s internal practices to share lessons, shape approaches, and raise the collective bar.
• Stay curious through experimenting with new patterns in the GenAI space, share what works (and what doesn’t), and help evolve how we build AI-powered software.

We are excited about you, because you:

• You’re a hands-on, full stack engineer with a strong track record of delivering software in collaborative, agile environments.
• You believe that code quality matters, and that TDD and pairing help build better systems and stronger teams.
• You’ve worked across multiple languages or frameworks (e.g., Python, Node, Java, React, Next.js) and are pragmatic about tool selection.
• You’re excited about what’s happening in the AI space but stay focused on delivering value.
• You have experience navigating complex organizations, building bridges across functions, and helping teams adopt modern development practices.
• You’re as comfortable in the code as you are in a client meeting and can translate technical risks and wins into language anyone can understand.
• You love to share what you’re learning and make the team around you better.
• You’ve worked with LangChain (or similar agentic frameworks), and understand how to architect AI-native systems responsibly and effectively.

If you had worked at Focused over the last 3 months you may have:

• Paired with a teammate to build a document Q&A system using LangChain and OpenAI APIs
• Helped design an architecture that integrates LLM agents into a legacy enterprise workflow
• Refactored a flaky test suite to support continuous delivery with confidence
• Built and deployed a full stack GenAI MVP with a React frontend and FastAPI backend
• Facilitated an architecture spike to evaluate vector database options for semantic search
• Contributed a new section to our internal AI playbook
• Helped write this job req

What Sets Exceptional Candidates Apart:

• Experience building AI-enabled applications leveraging LangChain and LLMs to deliver meaningful, production-ready outcomes for clients.
• Deep expertise in LangChain, LangGraph and LangSmith.

What to know before you apply: 

• You will be expected to work for up to four days a week in person, be it from our office in London or from client sites.
• The London base salary range for this role is £70,000 - £97,500 GBP.
