Role purpose
The Director of Platform Engineering is the single accountable owner for the platform and data engineering capabilities used across every product domain in the business. The role consolidates Platform Engineering and Data Platform under one senior leader, and runs those capabilities as internal products with named service expectations, a published roadmap, and a regular review cadence with Domain Directors. This is a current role, created to separate architectural authority from operational delivery. The Chief Architect sets technical direction; this role owns the delivery, reliability, and adoption of the shared capabilities that direction depends on. The two roles are peers.
Reporting and scope
• Direct reports: Platform Engineering Manager, Data Platform Lead. Indirect organisation of approximately 15 engineers at steady state.
• Internal customers: Three product domains (360, Assure and Learn) plus internal engineering and operations teams.
• Peer relationships: Chief Architect, Domain Directors, Product Directors, Head of Business Technology




Key responsibilities
Run shared capabilities as products. Define service expectations, roadmaps, and adoption metrics for Platform Engineering and Data Platform. Be the single named owner for operational performance: incident response, SLOs, capacity, cost-to-serve, and roadmap delivery.
Earn the trust of Domain Directors. Treat domain teams as customers. Establish a regular review cadence with each Domain Director. Where a shared capability is not fit for a domain's needs, lead the work to fix it rather than defending the status quo.
Partner with the Chief Architect. Translate architectural direction (multi-tenancy, AI paved roads, Technology Radar) into deliverable platform capabilities on a documented timeline. Surface implementation realities that should inform the architectural roadmap.
Manage cloud cost. Own the FinOps practice for the platform estate. Drive unit cost down without compromising reliability and
