About the Role

We are currently recruiting a Software Engineering Manager to lead one of our teams working in our Data Conversion and Loading space. People are our number one priority and in this role you will lead people through their daily activities with a view to marrying a person’s career objectives with our business objectives.

Daily, this role will require you to facilitate technical discussions with the expectation that you can relay and represent the team and their work to both technical and business collaborators.

These initiatives are broad in scope and are required to make sure we evolve our processes, activities and general ways of working within our department and the larger Workday ecosystem.
