Engineering Manager, Applications, BI & AI Enablement
The Role: 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 modern, AI‑assisted ways of working into everyday delivery.
Essential Functions: 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 transparent 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.
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.
Compensation: $120,000 -$180,000 per annum
