Senior Manager IoT Engineering Standards & Effectiveness

In this senior leadership role, you’ll shape how Vodafone IoT’s Platform Engineering organisation works at scale—setting clear engineering standards, governance and ways of working that help teams deliver value safely, reliably and efficiently. You’ll work closely with Technology and Business leaders to drive focus and prioritisation across the portfolio, ensuring Platform Engineering is doing the right things (strategy and governance) and doing things right (operating model, performance management and continuous improvement). You’ll lead high‑impact transformation and effectiveness programmes across DevSecOps, SRE, CI/CD and quality practices, helping teams automate more, improve reliability and reduce incident impact. You’ll also strengthen end‑to‑end operational excellence, including incident/problem management, vulnerability management, audit readiness and compliance with privacy and regulatory standards. With ownership across portfolio governance—including budget planning and cost optimisation—you’ll influence how we invest, how we partner with suppliers, and how we build workforce capability. You’ll oversee KTLO portfolio management, vendor strategy and business planning, while coaching and developing leaders in a geographically distributed environment. With 3–5 direct reports and broad dotted‑line influence across ~150+ engineers, your impact will be enterprise‑wide across IoT Platform Engineering.
