Senior Software Delivery Manager

Our mission is to help dental and veterinary clinics make recurring payments as simple as paying by card. We want to make memberships (Plans) and patient finance seamless by ‘combining’ workflows with cards and tapping existing patient data.

There are two exciting trends affecting the primary care sector right now.

1. We believe all businesses are becoming internet businesses. Many clinics now actively ‘push’ online bookings and explore the benefits to handle phone calls with AI agents 247.
3. We believe all revenue is moving towards monthly payments. People pay for more and more ‘stuff’ with a subscription, from cars to music. Dentists and vets are well positioned to benefit due to the strong, recurring relationships with patients.

4. Today, we support over 5,000 dental practices across the UK. 100 more join our platform every month. Tabeo is the dominant market leader for patient finance and seeks to be the same for plans in 3 years.

   Tabeo is profitable. We seek to grow revenue by 5060% per year and top £30 million per year in 2028.

   We believe in a remote first approach to work and equip teams with perks and tools so they can thrive. However, we all come together 2x per year for our amazing ‘Team Weeks’. We previously met in Dubai, Lisbon, London and Athens. Next is a surprise!

   • Metrics: Define and track delivery KPIs (velocity, lead time, throughput) to inform improvements.
   • Alignment: Ensure the right things are being worked on at the right time, and escalate misalignments early.
   • Coaching: Elevate the delivery maturity of the organisation by mentoring teams on agile principles and lean execution.
