Senior Engineering Manager - AI Enablement

The Software (CE-SW) group is responsible for developing and improving the software ecosystem around Arm's next generation architectures and systems. We are looking for a Senior Engineering Manager to build, develop and lead a small team of AI subject-matter experts. Working hands-on alongside the team, you will partner with engineering groups across CE-SW to identify high-value opportunities and turn them into practical, measurable improvements in engineering effectiveness.

This role is hands-on, requiring both technical and people leadership. Either our Cambridge or Manchester office are suitable locations.

• Hire, develop and lead a small, high-performing team of AI subject-matter experts, creating an environment of technical excellence, collaboration and continuous learning.
• Set the team’s priorities and roadmap, taking responsibility for the delivery of measurable outcomes across CE-SW.
• Engage deeply with software engineering teams across projects, sites and groups, embedding team members where sustained collaboration will accelerate results.
• Understand engineering workflows and constraints, identify high-value opportunities for AI enablement, and recommend pragmatic solutions: focus on solving problems and implementing measurable improvements, not merely widening AI adoption.
• Establish common success measures and a group-level dashboard showing progress, trends, engineering impact and return on investment.

• Experience hiring, leading and developing a team of highly skilled engineers or technical specialists.
• Strong, current software engineering skills, with the ability to design and build working prototypes, integrations and production-quality examples rather than only advise conceptually.
• Substantial practical experience applying generative AI or AI-assisted engineering tools to real software development workflows.
• Experience working across organisational boundaries and influencing senior technical and business stakeholders without relying on direct authority.
• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to engage, motivate and align both specialist engineers and broader stakeholder groups.

• Meaningful practical experience with Codex and OpenAI APIs.
• Experience establishing or scaling an AI enablement, developer productivity or engineering transformation function.
• Knowledge of evaluation techniques and metrics for AI-assisted software engineering, including productivity, quality and return on investment.
• Familiarity with enterprise AI governance, data protection, security, intellectual-property and responsible-AI considerations.

Joining Arm means being part of an elite team that is high-reaching and determined to achieve outstanding results. You will collaborate with industry leaders and innovators, contributing to flawless service builds that improve our global operations. We provide an encouraging and inclusive environment that encourages continuous learning and professional growth. Your success is our success, and together we can build services that compete on the world stage!
