Engineering Manager, Incubation Zone

Job Description

Mailchimp is a leading marketing platform for small business. We empower millions of customers around the world to build their brands and grow their companies with a suite of marketing automation, multichannel campaign, CRM, and analytics tools.

Mailchimp is seeking an Engineering Manager to help us lead teams focused on new projects and acquisitions as part of the Incubation team. You'll mentor, grow, and lead engineers focused on longer horizon bets that sit outside of our core initiatives. We’re looking for someone to embody the company motto of “Listen Hard, Change Fast”. They must be comfortable operating in uncertainty and changing requirements as they help us develop substantive additions to our core process and offering.

What you'll do:

• Have solid experience managing an inclusive team of high-performing engineers in multiple office locations.
• Collaborate with Engineers to help define their career path through challenging growth opportunities.
• Collaborate with technical leads to prioritize work, ensure the team has appropriate skills and size to accomplish goals, and ensure any roadblocks are removed from the team’s path.
• Recognize the value of transparent, honest communication and the necessity of sharing information.
• Participate with peers and Directors to ensure the organizational structure is a help, and not a hindrance, to getting work done.
• Continually explore innovative business practices and determine fit for team and company.

We'd love to hear from you if:

• You are passionate about the career growth and self-development of our Engineers.
• You have prior experience leading engineering teams - particularly if you have experience working in small companies on unproven projects.
• You are patient, resilient, and willing to take on work even when it's challenging, ambiguous, or intense.
• You have a desire to pursue collaboration even when it introduces dissent. Values bringing diverse perspectives to the table. Able to balance efforts between planning and acting.
• You understand how to augment humility with the courage to propose, develop, and defend ideas you feel passionately about.
• You have a commitment to increasing efficiency in the workplace by continuously reviewing and adjusting processes, org structure, tools, etc.
• You have a deep understanding of Mailchimp’s core products and are passionate about how incubation work can fit into serving the same customer.

How you’ll work: Our Core Leadership Behaviors are the observable and measurable leadership actions and skills that contribute to our effectiveness and success in our roles at Mailchimp. They determine how we do our jobs and how we meet our goals, enabling us to bring out the best in each other and execute on our strategic plans to deliver for our customers.

• Thriving in Complexity: You unravel and make sense of potentially sophisticated, incomplete, and contradictory information to effectively solve problems.
• Nimble Learning: You tackle problems with experimentation, using successes and failures to inform future decisions
• Expecting the best: You hold yourself and others accountable to meet commitments
• Collaborating Courageously: You build partnerships across the company and work collaboratively with others to meet strategic goals
• Cultivating Candor: You act with integrity and earn the confidence and trust of others through honesty and authenticity
• Inclusive Leadership: You recognize the value diversity brings to our organization and leverages different perspectives to enhance organizational culture and drive performance
• Customer Obsessed: You listen hard to customers, understand their challenges, develop relationships with them, and deliver products that remove their obstacles
