Job Description

If you feel rewarded by empowering others, and if you embrace and encourage change as a means to improve processes and performance, Brierley+Partners is the place for you!

Our exciting, culture-focused company is on a mission to find a seasoned Engineering Manager to grow, inspire and develop our team of talented and motivated engineers.

* You will use the latest tools and methodologies, and will work with globally-recognized, "big name" companies across multiple industries versus being siloed to one to create cutting-edge solutions.

* "I am eager to learn and share knowledge with others."
* "I work cross-functionally and externally with empathy and kindness as the backbone."
* "I understand how to juggle priorities when there are time limits."

* Emphasis on mentorship, guidance through individuals' career growth, and leading teams towards increased efficiency, productivity and performance.
