Job description
Position Overview
The Engineering Manager, MDM will lead a team of developers responsible for the ongoing development, support, and enhancement of our enterprise Master Data Management (MDM) platform. This is a hands-on technical leadership role — the Engineering Manager will personally design solutions, write and review code, estimate work from loosely defined requirements, and solve complex technical problems — while also managing team delivery and performance.
This role operates under a "you build it, you support it" model — there is no separation between development and support teams. The Engineering Manager is accountable for platform stability, sprint delivery, code quality, SLA compliance, and team performance across customer, supplier, contact, and item domains.
The successful candidate must be a seasoned technical problem-solver first and a people manager second. They will work closely with the MDM Architect (who drives technical direction and design authority) and the Program Manager (who drives roadmap, stakeholder communication, and cross-functional coordination).
