Ohme has been selling its chargers to consumers since mid 2019 and has had exponential growth since. We are now operating in multiple countries and have partnerships with the likes of VW, Mercedes, Octopus Energy, and other innovative brands.
We are scaling up the business and are building out the team for rapid growth. If you’re interested joining a fast-growing cleantech venture on a data and AI-first journey to speed up the global transition to clean, affordable energy, read on!
The Role
We are seeking an Engineering Operations Manager who will work closely with the Head of Engineering and Tech Leads to oversee and operationalise engineering processes, team coordination, and cross-functional compliance and administration. You will ensure that engineering delivery is efficient, compliant, well-resourced and aligned with business goals.
This is a non-hands-on role - your focus is on enabling, coordinating, governing, and optimising the engineering organisation.
Key Responsibilities
Delivery & Process
- Oversee delivery management: track milestones, dependencies, blockers, and ensure engineering commitments are met.
- Lead procurement, tooling, licences, and vendor relationships for engineering needs.

- Define and monitor performance metrics, KPIs, and reporting for the engineering team.
- Establish, maintain, and continually improve engineering practices and ways of working (e.g. agile/lean frameworks, code review policies, release processes).
People & Team Operations
- Lead performance management: goal setting, evaluation cycles, feedback processes, and development plans.
- Facilitate onboarding of new engineering hires and integrate them into existing teams, processes, and culture.
- Manage team scheduling: rotas, on-call duties, workload balance, and capacity alignment.
Strategic & Recruitment
- Define and execute the hiring and recruitment strategy for the engineering function: capacity planning, role structuring, interview frameworks, pipeline management.
- Vet and challenge product requirements in collaboration with Product, ensuring they are viable, complete, and aligned with engineering capacity and constraints.
- Manage escalation of critical bugs (severity, triage, coordination, stakeholder communication).
Finance, Legal & Compliance
- Administer invoicing, expense control, payroll coordination, and cost management within the engineering organisation.
- Support legal and contract matters relevant to engineering (e.g. NDAs, vendor contracts, service agreements) by liaising with Legal.
- Ensure information security compliance and governance (access control, audits, policies, internal/external compliance frameworks).
About You
Essential:
- Proven capability in hiring talent and execution in engineering teams.
- Strong track record in delivery oversight, process definition, tooling, and governance.
- Understanding of information security, compliance, legal frameworks in a technology setting.
- Excellent organisational skills, stakeholder management, communication, and ability to bridge technical and non-technical functions.
- Leadership mindset with experience handling performance cycles, metrics, and people operations.
- Financial acumen: budget control, cost tracking, expense management.
Desirable:
- Relevant degree is preferrable but not mandatory – Computer Science, Information Systems etc.
- Prior exposure to EV, energy, or hardware/software co-development environments.
- Experience with procurement or vendor management of technical tools and services.
- Familiarity with agile/lean engineering methodologies and software development lifecycles.
- Certifications or training in information security, compliance, or governance.
