You'll provide technical leadership, support sound engineering decisions and help shape the standards, tools and ways of working used by your team. You'll also work closely with stakeholders across the business, including areas such as Service Delivery and Platforms, helping to keep communication clear and delivery aligned. Alongside delivery, you'll manage resources, oversee quality, reduce risk and contribute to engineering strategy.

You'll also have experience, or a detailed understanding of how AI can be embedded into the software development lifecycle in a meaningful and practical way. Just as importantly, you'll be collaborative, proactive and comfortable working across technical and non-technical teams to turn business objectives into well-engineered solutions.
