About the opportunity
Core Group’s Digital & Technology team is looking for an experienced Engineering Team Lead to take end-to-end ownership of software delivery while building and leading a high-performing engineering team. You’ll work across our omnichannel platform — including e-commerce, mobile, point-of-sale and the integrations that connect these experiences to core retail and wholesale systems.
What you’ll be doing
- Own assigned software projects from scoping, planning and estimation through execution, risk management and release.
- Manage scope, capacity, timelines and delivery priorities, removing obstacles before they impact commitments.
- Build, structure and resource the engineering team; coach, develop and hold team members accountable for delivery.
- Ensure the team consistently follows agreed architecture, engineering, security, quality and release standards.
- Drive delivery against the technology roadmap for e-commerce, trade-in, POS and ERP/OMS/WMS/CRM integrations.
- Promote strong Agile and DevOps practices, including CI/CD, quality gates, code review and release governance.
- Partner with stakeholders to translate business goals into clear, deliverable technical work and communicate risks and dependencies early.
- Coordinate readiness for peak-trading periods and major product launches across supported markets.
The environment you’ll lead
- Omnichannel platforms: e-commerce, mobile and POS
- Retail/wholesale integrations: ERP, OMS, WMS and CRM
- Agile delivery, CI/CD, engineering quality gates and release management
- Capacity planning, technical debt and operational excellence
What we’re looking for
- Degree in Computer Science or a closely related field, or equivalent practical experience.
- 8+ years in a technical role, including substantial experience leading software development teams and integrations.
- Proven experience running software projects independently from planning through delivery.
- Strong people leadership, resource planning and performance-management capability.
- Ability to interpret and enforce technical and architectural standards.
- Strong communication, problem-solving and escalation-management skills.
Advantageous
- Retail, e-commerce, POS or omnichannel experience.
- Experience delivering through high-demand events such as product launches and peak trading.
- Familiarity with Agile/DevOps tooling, CI/CD pipelines and delivery tracking tools such as ClickUp.
What will make you successful
You are a delivery-focused leader who can simplify complexity, create clarity for a team and take accountability for both the people and the outcome.
How we work
We value customer focus, getting things done, teamwork, innovation, integrity, passion and embracing differences. We’re looking for people who bring those values into the way they solve problems, collaborate and deliver.
If this sounds like the kind of challenge you’re ready for, we’d love to hear from you.
Other offers great for you!
