Responsibilities

You will work on a range of projects with varying technical complexity, ensuring the teams are heading the right direction strategically while also keeping them on track day to day. In order to do this, you will:
Turn company strategy into team strategy. You will be working with other leaders across the company to determine the right direction for your teams to move in, while collaborating with the team to determine what is possible. You will be the one who combines these two forces to decide the correct goals for the team.
Prioritise the work to be done. There are many opportunities we could go after, and many different solutions, but time and resources are limited. You'll need to work with analysts and researchers to help identify the most impactful customer problems we need to solve, and work with designers and engineers in design sprints to craft creative and viable solutions. Take responsibility for delivery. Once your goals are defined, it is your responsibility to ensure the team delivers on the goals. You will ensure the teams are tackling the correct problems and you will work side by side with them, giving them support and unblocking them when necessary.
Liaise with stakeholders. You will be communicating with leadership across the company to keep them apprised of the progress your teams are making throughout the year. Strong inter-team communication feeds into the work of coming up with future strategic goals.
