Our Future Health · London, United Kingdom (Hybrid) · Full-time · Posted 2026-07-16
Workplace: hybrid
Department: Technology
We're looking for an experienced Engineering Manager to lead a squad responsible for delivering critical healthcare data capabilities at scale. This is a unique opportunity to combine technical leadership, people management and delivery oversight while helping shape the future of health data infrastructure used by researchers across the UK and beyond.
You'll join at an exciting stage of growth, playing a pivotal role in shaping the direction of this team. While this is a largely hands-off leadership position, you'll bring a strong engineering background and enough technical depth to guide architectural discussions, challenge assumptions and support decision-making in complex data environments.
What makes this role particularly distinctive is its focus on healthcare data models and standards, including OMOP and FHIR. You'll work closely with engineers, data specialists, product teams and researchers to ensure the squad delivers scalable, well-governed data solutions that enable the effective use of healthcare data for research and innovation. If you're an Engineering Manager with experience building and scaling teams, leading cross-functional delivery and working with complex data systems, we'd love to hear from you.
Our Future Health is the UK’s largest ever health research programme, bringing people together to develop new ways to detect, prevent and treat diseases. We are a charity, supported by the UK Government, in partnership with charities and industry. We work closely with the NHS and with public authorities across all nations and regions of the UK.
Our plan is to bring together 5 million volunteers from right across the UK who will be asked to contribute information to help build one of the most detailed pictures we have ever had of people’s health. Researchers will be able to use this information to make new discoveries about human health and diseases. So future generations can live in good health for longer.
What you'll be doing:
We don't expect you to have experience with every single point but to be successful in this role you'll need to have experience of some of the following:
Competitive base salary
Generous Pension Scheme – We invest in your future with employer contributions of up to 12%
You may work remotely from anywhere within the UK, with occasional travel to London.
We recommend you apply as soon as possible as occasionally due to high volumes of applications, we need to close our postings early.

We proactively encourage applicants who identify as having a disability, neurodiversity, or long-term health conditions to let us know if they require any reasonable adjustments as part of their application process.

UK health data collection for research
Our Future Health is a UK charity running the country's largest health research programme. It invites up to five million adults to participate by completing a questionnaire and giving a blood sample, with their data linked to health records. This creates a detailed picture of the nation’s health to help researchers find new ways to prevent, detect, and treat diseases such as cancer, diabetes, and dementia. The project combines ethical, practical, and technological work to handle vast amounts of data and develop useful insights. Unlike smaller studies, it aims for large-scale, long-term data collection across the entire population. The ultimate goal is to help future generations stay healthier for longer by guiding better disease prevention and care.
