This job is with Allianz Commercial, an inclusive employer and a member of myGwork – the largest global platform for the LGBTQ+ business community. We are looking for a strategic Engineering Lead to own our enterprise platform products as a business - connecting technology decisions to business outcomes. You will be the single point of accountability for the platform's direction, delivery commitments, budget, and value: translating business strategy into technical roadmaps, steering investment and cost-to-serve, and advising product and business leadership as a trusted consultant.

You lead through influence, financial acumen, and stakeholder alignment - with enough technical depth to challenge architecture decisions and keep engineering honest.

Own the platform strategy: define and evolve the product/platform roadmap in line with business priorities, market context, and enterprise architecture direction.

Manage the platform as a P&L;: own budget planning, forecasting, and cost-to-serve; Govern delivery and reliability: establish and track engineering KPIs (delivery velocity, change failure rate, MTTR, availability, cost-to-serve) and hold teams accountable for technical health as well as feature delivery.

Steer architecture decisions: sponsor architecture reviews, trade-off analyses, and technology selection - ensuring scalability, security, and compliance without doing the detailed design yourself.

Develop the organization: mentor tech leads and engineering managers, raise delivery discipline, and build a culture of ownership and continuous improvement. 8+ years in technology roles, with 3+ years leading platforms, products,



or engineering organizations with end-to-end accountability. ~ Demonstrated experience managing technology budgets and P&L; - planning, forecasting, cost optimization, and investment cases - ideally for platform or product portfolios. ~ A consultant's toolkit: structuring ambiguous problems, building business cases, facilitating executive decisions, and communicating with impact at senior levels. ~ Strong understanding of modern platform architecture - cloud, microservices, APIs, DevOps/SRE - sufficient to evaluate options, challenge designs, and assess risk credibly. ~ Familiarity with Agile portfolio and delivery governance, engineering KPIs, and vendor/partner management. ~ BSc/MSc in Computer Science, Engineering, Business/Technology, or equivalent experience; an MBA or consulting background is a plus. ~ Excellent English for executive communication, business writing, and stakeholder engagement across technical and non-technical audiences.

We offer a hybrid work model which recognizes the value of striking a balance between in-person collaboration and remote working incl. We believe in rewarding performance and our compensation and benefits package includes a company bonus scheme, pension, employee shares program and multiple employee discounts (details vary by location).



From career development and digital learning programs to international career mobility, we offer lifelong learning for our employees worldwide and an environment where innovation, delivery and empowerment are fostered.
