Head Of Software Engineering (Operational And Customer Products)
London, England, United Kingdom
Summary
👤
SeniorNeil Hewitt is an accomplished software engineering leader with 11+ years in senior roles and a two-decade career spanning product engineering, development leadership and technical strategy across organisations like Royal Mail, Fourth and Euromoney. As Head of Software Engineering for Operational and Customer Products at Royal Mail he blends hands-on delivery with large-scale operational responsibility, driving cross-functional teams to ship resilient customer-facing systems. He has repeatedly built and scaled engineering organisations—from VP Engineering to Head of Technology—bringing a pragmatic focus on reliable delivery and measurable business impact. Based in London, he pairs a dry, sarcastic wit (and a fondness for Star Trek) with a clear appetite for practical engineering rather than academic showmanship. Not immediately obvious: his background includes editorial and product-facing roles early in his career, giving him a rare empathy for user-focused product decisions alongside deep technical leadership.
