  • You will be comfortable accepting responsibility for impact, service availability, and the effectiveness of your teams.
  • You will be comfortable being at the forefront of AI adoption for delivery and operations, leaning in and helping the team leverage AI for optimum delivery in their ways of working.

  • You are an expert at agile, continuous delivery, DevOps and will advocate for the culture and processes required to maintain smooth high-quality delivery.
  • You can dive deep into technology and are on the forefront of the latest tools and strategies and help evaluate, prototype, and introduce them to our team.
  • Provide coaching and leadership in software best practices, automated test strategies, and work toward flattening the cost of change curve for our software services.
  • You are articulate both in writing and when speaking to different audiences, including executives, customers and engineers. You are fluent in english and can communicate effectively.
  • You are a talent magnet that builds diverse teams and retains the best by keeping them engaged and motivated.
