Role Overview
We are looking for a Head of Engineering Operations to drive the operating rhythm and performance of our engineering organization. This role sits between the CTO and multiple engineering team leads and focuses on organizational effectiveness—not technical architecture.

Build and manage KPI dashboards to track performance and team health
Lead performance management, including 1:1s, feedback, and evaluation processes
Oversee variable pay and performance-based incentives
Partner with engineering leads to ensure alignment, accountability, and execution
Drive organizational efficiency and continuous improvement across teams
Translate operational data into actionable insights and decisions
Requirements
Qualifications
Proven experience directly managing engineers or technical team leads
Strong track record in organizational operations and performance management
Experience building and owning KPI dashboards from raw data
Ability to think in systems and organizational outcomes, not just project delivery
Experience managing teams at scale (50+ people or equivalent)
Strong communication and leadership skills
