About Spektrix
Spektrix is a technology company with a deep connection to the arts. Our mission is to help arts organisations thrive by providing cloud-based ticketing and CRM software, alongside consultative support that drives revenue, improves efficiency, and builds stronger audience relationships. We work with over 700 organisations across the UK, Ireland, the United States and Canada, supported by a team of more than 250 colleagues based in London, Manchester and New York.
How We Work
We’re a collaborative team of problem-solvers who value transparency, continuous improvement, and a low-ego environment. Our engineers are responsible for developing and maintaining our market-leading platform, working closely with others across the business. We have eight engineering delivery teams, each with clear areas of ownership, all operating with Kanban, XP and Lean principles in a continuous delivery environment.
Each team is supported by a leadership group - Delivery Manager, Product Owner, Technical Lead and Engineering Manager - who work together to guide and enable high performance. We place strong emphasis on team health, psychological safety and shared responsibility, as these are essential to achieving great outcomes.
How We Connect
We believe in-person time is crucial for building trust, empathy and alignment across our hybrid teams. Engineering teams meet monthly for in-person team days, with quarterly department-wide sessions and stakeholder check-ins. As a team leader, you can expect to be in one of our UK offices around four days per month.
The Role
At Spektrix, we see line management as a supportive role focused on enabling engineers to be most effective in their roles and helping them grow their abilities. This includes coaching, mentoring, and creating an environment that encourages learning and development - both individually and at the team level. You’ll represent Spektrix to your reports, modelling the behaviours we expect, helping them interpret the wider organisational context, and supporting them in setting meaningful goals and building cases for progression. Drawing on frameworks like 'The Five Dysfunctions of a Team', you’ll also help foster effective teams and take the lead in addressing any issues around behaviours or misaligned expectations.
You will be part of an engineering line management group across engineering and more widely across the business, building on and maintaining good practice across the organisation.

You will be supported by the People Team in terms of policies and processes, and you will also contribute to this. At Spektrix, performance management is a continuous process throughout the year, with key points of evaluation and alignment twice a year.

This role isn’t focused on leading product or technical decisions, but rather on a passion for people and driving team performance.

Benefits

Working from home
We aim to be as flexible as possible when it comes to working setups and lots of our team work from home on a regular basis. This means we generally work with a “remote first” approach even when we are in the office.
We’ll provide reasonable support and all the hardware you need to get started, but we do require that you have the following already in place for a good home working set up:
Travelling into your local office (commuting) is at your own expense with a stipend available, any travel for business (other than commuting) will be covered by Spektrix.
Equal opportunities
Spektrix is an equal opportunities employer, we recruit regardless of race, religion, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, age or disability status and look to employ from a wide range of backgrounds and experiences.
Confidence can sometimes hold us back from applying for a job. Studies show that women do not apply for roles unless they meet 100% of the requirements, whereas men apply when they meet at least 60% of the requirements. At Spektrix, we know that there's no such thing as a 'perfect' candidate. Spektrix is committed to creating an inclusive work environment, where our team members are supported in expressing themselves and delivering their best work. So however you
identify and whatever background you bring with you, please apply if this is a role that would make you excited to come into work every day.
Diversity in the workplace is hugely important to our working environment and to enable both individuals and Spektrix to thrive. By valuing each person’s differences we enable each person to contribute their unique experiences, strengths and viewpoints. Workplace diversity is something we aim to achieve and maintain at Spektrix, and we are pursuing a workforce that reflects the diversity of the communities we serve and work in. We aim to reflect this diversity in all departments and at all levels of seniority in the business, right up to the board.
In an effort to help us reduce bias, please do not include a photo in your CV or application.
