Engineering Manager – Strategic Fleet Planning (m/f/d)

SIXT is a global mobility leader, and Fleet is where the company makes its highest-stakes bets. Every year we decide how to deploy massive investments into buying, positioning, and retiring vehicles across every market we operate in. Strategic Fleet Planning is the software behind those calls. It turns historic and predictive data into a plan for the fleet we'll need next quarter, next year, and beyond — one of the most consequential decision-support systems in the company, built end-to-end in Portugal on AWS. The team behind it isn't new to raising the bar: it's already deep into agentic engineering and closing the gap between backend and frontend, and it's not done yet. Beyond Strategic Fleet Planning, this team also picks up other high-impact engineering work across SIXT's tech portfolio as priorities shift — we want engineers energized by range, not boxed into one slice of the stack. You'll sit inside SIXT's Revenue Management organization, working daily alongside Product, Data Science, and fellow engineering teams building what moves us forward. We're looking for an Engineering Manager who leads from the front: hands-on with code and with agents, fluent with engineers and with the business, and ready to push an already-strong team further. YOUR ROLE AT SIXT You own delivery of Strategic Fleet Planning end-to-end: partner with Product, Data Science, and Business stakeholders to turn fleet strategy into shipped software that changes how SIXT buys and deploys vehicles. You lead and grow a colocated engineering team in Portugal, pushing their agentic and full-stack practice forward — you coach where each engineer sits on the technical and AI-maturity curve, empower them to own technical decisions (engineering manager != tech lead), and hold the team to outcomes, not ticket count or how much code an agent produced. You pick up a rotating portfolio of other high-impact engineering work across SIXT's tech stack as priorities shift. You help decide what's next; you don
