• Think beyond today – balance short-term product delivery with longer-term platform investment, identifying opportunities to improve the architecture and technology estate.
• Make complexity simple – guide solution design and help teams navigate technical constraints, dependencies, risks and blockers before they impact delivery.
• Develop great people – lead and support Managers and multiple teams of Engineers at all levels, while coaching other technology leaders and building a high-performance culture.
• Influence beyond your teams – manage stakeholder expectations, build strong relationships and influence priorities and backlogs across Product, Technology and commercial functions.
• Own the outcomes – use data, customer and partner insight to measure success and drive improvements in partner experience, operational performance and perfect orders.
• Operate at scale – oversee critical services deployed through our AWS environment, managing budgets, suppliers and technology partnerships to deliver lasting impact.
