VP of Engineering | Fortune 500 Manufacturing Organisation | Dallas, TX (Hybrid)
I'm currently supporting a Fortune 500 manufacturing organisation on the search for a VP of Engineering to lead, build and significantly scale its enterprise engineering organisation, with a primary focus on Data Engineering and Data Platforms.
This is a highly visible executive leadership role with a major emphasis on team growth, data modernisation and engineering transformation.
You'll own the direction of a large engineering function spanning Data and Software, building the teams and modern platforms required to support Analytics, AI and critical enterprise applications.
Key Responsibilities
Define and execute the enterprise engineering strategy, with Data Engineering as a core focus
Build and aggressively scale Data Engineering and Software Engineering teams
Recruit and develop Directors, Engineering Managers and senior technical leaders
Lead modernisation across cloud data platforms, applications and legacy environments
Establish standards across data architecture, software architecture, quality, DevOps and platform reliability
Partner with Data, AI, Product, Technology and business leadership on strategic initiatives
Build scalable data capabilities supporting manufacturing, supply chain and operational decision-making
Drive engineering productivity, technical excellence and delivery across the organisation
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
Significant mandate to hire, build and scale engineering teams
Major emphasis on growing the Data Engineering organisation
Executive ownership across both Data and Software Engineering
Opportunity to build the foundations supporting future AI and Advanced Analytics
Large-scale cloud, data and application modernisation
High visibility with C-suite and senior technology leadership
What We're Looking For
Proven experience leading engineering organisations of 40+ people
Strong track record of recruiting and rapidly scaling Data and/or Software Engineering teams
Significant leadership experience across Data Engineering, Data Platforms or Software Engineering
Experience developing Directors, Engineering Managers and senior technical leaders
Track record leading large-scale data, cloud and application modernisation programmes
Strong understanding of modern data architecture, software engineering and cloud platforms
Fortune 500, manufacturing or similarly complex enterprise experience preferred
Executive-level communication with the ability to translate engineering investment into measurable business outcomes
Details
Position: VP of Engineering
Industry: Fortune 500 Manufacturing
Job Type: Full Time
Compensation: Up to $450K Base + Executive Package
Why This Role
This is an opportunity to build and scale rather than simply inherit.
The successful executive will have a significant mandate to grow the engineering organisation, with Data Engineering at the centre of that growth, while still owning broader Software Engineering capability and shaping the technology foundations of a Fortune 500 manufacturing business.
