ELC NYC: The Evolving Role of the Engineering Manager

Join us for an engaging discussion on the ever-changing role of the Engineering Manager and what it takes to thrive in today’s landscape. As technology becomes more intertwined with business strategy, EMs are expected to go beyond their technical expertise — balancing engineering priorities with business objectives, influencing leadership decisions, and shaping company-wide impact.

At this meetup, we’ll explore:

1. 🔹 The New EM Skill Set – How much business acumen do engineering leaders really need?
2. 🔹 Navigating Engineering-Product Tensions – How to align tech priorities with business needs.
3. 🔹 Managing Up, Down, and Across – Strategies for influencing leadership without a C-title.
4. 🔹 Career Growth Beyond EM – Mapping the path to VP, CTO, or other leadership roles.
5. 🔹 Startups vs. Enterprises – How the EM role shifts based on company size and scale.

Whether you’re an aspiring EM, a seasoned leader, or someone looking to grow beyond the role, this discussion will provide valuable insights and networking opportunities with peers facing similar challenges.

Space is limited, so please RSVP early.
