Team Lead - Invoices

h3Join BLP and help make the world’s business processes autonomous! /h3 pOur agentic platform helps finance and operations teams worldwide remove manual work from their core business processes, so work runs end-to-end with greater control and significant productivity gains. /p pToday, over 550 enterprise customers use BLP across 1,300+ deployed projects. In the processes we automate, customers achieve productivity improvements of 5 to 10 times. /p pTo date, BLP remains majority employee-owned, with Goldman Sachs holding a minority stake as a growth investor. Our success is driven by deep expertise in technology and business processes, a superior product with strong product-market fit, reflected in an expanding customer base that includes Fortune 500 companies. /p pBLP is one of Switzerland's fastest-growing SaaS scale-ups; we are now entering our next phase of growth. From our headquarters on Zürich's Bahnhofstrasse, we're expanding globally, with a growing presence across Europe and North America. /p pJoin us and help make autonomous operations the new standard. /p h3About The Role /h3 pInvoices is BLP's largest product. Every day, it decides whether a supplier invoice can be posted to the customer's ERP without a human touching it. The invoice team builds and runs that product. /p pThis is a leadership job with three parts that are equally important: /p ul liBuild the team. The team is growing fast and is distributed across Zurich and several European countries. You hire, onboard, and grow engineers, and you develop the subteam leads who will carry more of the line management as we scale. /li liDeliver for our biggest customers. Some of the largest enterprises in Europe are rolling out BLP right now. Their go-lives, automation rates, and escalations land on your desk, and you make sure the team delivers on what we promised. /li liTurn the team into an empowered product team. Today, a lot of work still arrives as requests through proxies. You lead the shift toward a team that owns its problem space, defines outcomes, measures them, and decides what to build. /li /ul pAs Engineering Team Lead for Invoices, you lead the team that owns BLP's invoice product: You own the team's roadmap, delivery, people, and hiring. /p pThis job is for you if you want to lead a strong engineering team through its next phase of growth and own the result. /p pYou report to the Director of Product Engineering and work closely with the other product team leads, product management, and the go-to-market organization (project managers, customer success, and sales). The team is organized in subteams, each with its own lead, and you are the person who keeps them aligned. /p h3What You'll Do /h3 h3Lead and grow the team /h3 ul liRun regular 1:1s, ensure growth of the engineers in your team, review progress, and make promotion and ranking decisions together with engineering leadership. /li liCoach and develop subteam leads, and set up the subteam structure as the team grows. /li liKeep a distributed team connected and productive: clear working agreements, transparent planning, and a culture where people raise problems early. /li /ul h3Hire /h3 ul liOwn hiring for the team end to end: define the profiles, screen candidates, run interviews, review coding challenges, and close offers together with Talent Acquisition. /li liKeep a high bar while hiring at pace (our current target is around two new engineers per month), and make sure every new joiner has an onboarding plan and a buddy. /li /ul h3Own the roadmap and priorities /h3 ul liBuild the quarterly roadmap and run monthly planning with product owners and product management, prioritizing by customer impact, revenue, and strategic value. /li liBalance enterprise go-lives, automation improvements, platform migration, developer experience, operations, and new products, and say no when something does not move the product forward. /li liEscalate early and clearly when priorities conflict, and communicate decisions to the go-to-market organization. /li /ul h3Deliver for strategic enterprise customers /h3 ul liTake responsibility for the engineering side of large enterprise go-lives: requirements engineering, solution design, test and fix cycles, and go-live readiness. /li liWork directly with project managers and, where needed, with customer stakeholders and their IT teams, and give clear, regular engineering updates. /li liClose gaps in the product rather than per customer, so the next enterprise customer arrives on a platform that already handles their case. /li /ul h3What You'll Bring /h3 ul liYou have led an engineering team of 8+ people for at least two years, ideally in B2B SaaS, and you have grown a team through hiring rather than only inheriting one. /li liYou have a strong backend engineering background and can still read, review, and discuss production code and system design with senior engineers. /li liYou have hired many engineers yourself, you know what a high bar looks like, and you can run a structured interview process. /li liYou have delivered complex software for enterprise customers, including demanding go-lives, and you are comfortable in a room with customer stakeholders. /li liYou prioritize ruthlessly, communicate trade-offs clearly, and can hold a position with engineers, sales, and executives while keeping the relationship. /li liYou develop people: you give direct feedback, set measurable goals, and help engineers grow into leads. /li liYou take ownership, surface problems early, ask for help when you are stuck, and hold your team to the same standard. /li liYou are fluent in English. German is a strong plus, since many of our customers and colleagues are in the DACH region. /li /ul h3What You'll Get /h3 ul liA real mandate. You own the invoice team end to end: people, hiring, roadmap, and delivery. /li liImpact you can measure. Automation rates and go-lives on our largest accounts are directly visible to customers and to the business. /li liA strong team. Engineers from serious academic and industry backgrounds who care about doing the work well, with subteam leads already in place. /li liA smooth handover. The current team lead moves into a new role in engineering leadership and stays available to support your start. /li liRoom to grow. As a fast-growing, global AI company, BLP keeps creating new leadership opportunities. /li /ul #J-18808-Ljbffr
