Job Description:
The Role
Prospr is Sun Life's digital front door for Canadians - startup velocity inside a Fortune 500. We're revolutionizing how Canadians access insurance and wealth solutions by building a platform that lets people buy products the way they want to: online in minutes or virtually via a team of trusted, licensed Advisors.
We're not playing it safe. We're building with AI and creating omnichannel experiences - at the speed customers now expect. You lead the squad. Your team's success is your success.
As Engineering Manager, you're accountable for a single squad's delivery, people development, and execution quality. You balance hands-on technical contribution with people leadership. You translate product requirements into executable work, own sprint commitments, and ensure your squad is healthy, productive, and shipping at startup velocity.
You're accountable for how work gets done - sprint execution, code quality, team health, and delivery commitments. You'll lead the squad, working closely with Product Directors to drive business outcomes.
For candidates with these preferred skills, exceptions beyond the usual salary range below may be possible.
What You'll Do ?
Directly manage developers - hiring, own their performance, growth, engagement, and career development
What Success Looks Like ?
Your squad delivers predictably and at high velocity. Engineers are growing and engaged. Code quality is consistently high. The team collaborates well. Product and stakeholders trust your commitments. You're shipping features that drive business outcomes - lead conversion, advisor productivity, straight-through processing rates.
Who You Are ?
What You Bring
Experience leading a single squad/team end-to-end (delivery, quality, reliability, and team health), with clear examples of outcomes.
Demonstrated ability to run team-level execution rituals (planning, sprint/flow management, dependencies, release coordination) and improve delivery predictability.
Experience hiring, onboarding, and developing engineers (coaching, feedback, performance conversations)
