Engineering Manager – Applications, BI & AI Enablement

We are looking for a hands‑on Engineering Manager who combines technical leadership, people management, and delivery accountability across application development, business intelligence, and AI‑enabled engineering practices. This is a player‑coach role responsible for building strong engineers and analysts, owning solution quality end‑to‑end, and embedding up-to-date, AI‑assisted ways of working into everyday delivery.

Essential Functions

People & Team Leadership

- Directly manage application developers and a BI analyst, including coaching, performance management, and career development.
- Build a culture of accountability, technical excellence, and continuous improvement.
- Set clear expectations for quality, delivery discipline, and AI‑assisted ways of working.

Technical & Solution Ownership

- Own the technical architecture and design of applications and BI solutions.
- Ensure high standards for code quality, data quality, security, reliability, and maintainability.
- Act as the primary technical escalation point while strengthening team autonomy and local decision‑making.

BI & Analytics Leadership (Applied)

- Own data models, reporting quality, and analytics reliability.
- Ensure BI solutions are insight‑driven, governed, and aligned to business needs.
- Work hands‑on with the BI analyst when required, without becoming a reporting factory.





AI‑Enabled Engineering & Process Improvement

- Embed AI tools (e.g., Copilot) into development and analytics workflows as default practice.
- Improve SDLC efficiency through better patterns for testing, review, documentation, and delivery.
- Turn AI experimentation into repeatable, safe, and scalable engineering practices.

Delivery Partnership

- Partner with PMO on delivery execution while retaining ownership of how solutions are built.
- Translate business needs into scalable, maintainable technical solutions.
- Reduce delivery risk by strengthening local ownership and decision‑making.

Qualifications

- College diploma or university degree in computer science, information systems, and 5+ years of management experience.
- Prior people leadership experience managing software engineers and/or BI/analytics professionals.
- Strong background in application development and solution architecture.
- Practical experience delivering BI and analytics solutions (data models, reporting, governance).
- Comfort being hands‑on when needed, without defaulting to personal delivery.
- Experience improving engineering processes and embedding modern delivery practices.
- Excellent interpersonal, communication, and stakeholder management skills.
