<h2>Summary</h2><ul><li>UK-based, remote team with regular in-person meet-ups (candidates must be based in the UK)</li><li>£Competitive + share options, commensurate with a senior role at a start-up</li><li>Work directly tackling the nature and climate crises</li><li>Hands-on engineering leadership of a small, growing team</li></ul><h2>About Verna</h2>We're building the global insight and management platform for nature programmes, enabling our users to radically accelerate nature recovery worldwide.Corporates, public bodies, and NGOs are allocating hundreds of billions for nature recovery. But their work is held back by the unique challenges of nature programmes. This work requires many people and organisations to collaborate over multiple decades. Users have to make difficult decisions, on the basis of cognitively challenging analysis, applied to data that is complex, fragmented, disputed, and incomplete.Software can make a revolutionary impact on this problem. Verna builds products that help users to plan, deliver, and assure nature recovery. Our first product, Mycelia, has become the leading software solution for the Biodiversity Net Gain methodology, and is used by over 100 organisations across more than 10,000 nature projects. We're now developing our second product, with a global focus, working closely with multi-nationals who can achieve a step-change in nature action.We're VC-backed and revenue-generating, giving us a strong foundation from which to pursue our mission.<h2>Role</h2>We're looking for an exceptional engineering leader to head up our software development team.As we grow, we're adopting the industry model (e.g. used at AWS and Stripe) of separating technology direction from engineering operations: our CTO will lead on what we build, with this new role leading on how we build it.You will own all aspects of how Verna builds our products – managing engineers, optimising delivery, and turning product and research direction into robust software that users love. This role reports directly to Matthew Brown, Verna's co-founder and Co-CEO. You will be part of our Leadership Team, alongside our other Co-CEO, our CTO, and our Director of Ecology.This is a hands-on role in a small and agile team. Good people management will be vital, but you'll also be close to the work – working through hard problems, leading architecture conversations, and personally shaping how the team uses AI day-to-day.We're a small, well-funded team building something ambitious. This means you'll get the autonomy and impact of a start-up, with the stability of a company that has strong revenue and years of runway.To find out more see <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://verna.earth/careers/head-of-engineering">https://verna.earth/careers/head-of-engineering</a>
