Technology Delivery Engineering Manager

The Royal Ballet and Opera continues to lead the way in opera, ballet, music and dance both live on stage and through multiple digital platforms, from live streaming to worldwide cinema screenings. Our Covent Garden theatre has been at the heart of London and British cultural life for three centuries. We are home to two world-class Companies: The Royal Ballet and The Royal Opera.

The Royal Opera House describes the place we work, not who we are. The whole is always more than the sum of its parts – we may be a House, but three quarters of our audience experience what we do outside this building. While our Covent Garden theatre is the nerve centre, the impact and influence of the organisation can be felt in every corner of the country, and around the world. Keeping us connected to audiences across the world are our technology team, who enable us to do our jobs onsite by providing the network, infrastructure and systems for all departments to work effectively.

We are now seeking to add an experienced Engineering Manager into our Technology Delivery Team in a newly created role. Working across a range of business transformation projects and upgrades, this position will be responsible for the successful delivery and ongoing maintenance of enterprise-grade database and API development projects. This includes leading a team of software engineers focused on developing, optimising and supporting scalable, secure and robust integration pipelines (iPaaS), while ensuring alignment with business goals and technical standards.

This role will be central to ensuring the design and implementation of integration solutions for enterprise software systems are delivered to a high standard. The role acts as a liaison between development teams and IT Operations, enabling effective collaboration across infrastructure, architecture, and support functions for complex technical programmes.
