Engineering Manager

Your role

To manage and deliver medium / large IT Business projects to time, cost and quality standards.

What you'll be doing

BACKGROUND

In 2024, Corpay will pursue a strategic objective to launch a consume vehicle payments business in the UK. Until very recently, Corpay has solely focussed on acquiring and running companies with B2B, so this is a huge step.

Owning and operating a vehicle can be a hassle. It's confusing, time-consuming, and lots of work to manage so many different vehicle payments - staying on top of everything can be a pain.

We aim to make vehicle payments simple for consumers by making it easy to pay for all your vehicle needs within just one app.

Corpay is now the sole owner of the parking payments company PayByPhone. PayByPhone has good parking coverage in the UK and is a recognised brand with significant active user statistics.

We plan to use the PayByPhone app and brand as a channel to launch and grow a new vehicle payments business by adding additional services.

Today, PayByPhone is known as an app for one thing : parking. Users familiar with the brand are also familiar with the distress payment necessary to park their vehicles in certain locations.

We need to slowly transition this app into one that includes additional services whilst not breaking parking.
