Responsibilities

As the leader of the SBC team, you will be responsible for the whole team’s health, it’s growth, and it’s output – the SBC and it’s evolution.  As the engineering lead, you’ll be principally responsible for its technology and its delivery – but you’ll need to work hand-in-hand with peer functions to build a shared vision, a shared view, and a singular strategy.

• You’ll contextualise the strategy and timeframes for your team to help everyone sign up to ambitious goals.

• You’ll contribute materially to the success of your team. Your impact will be tangible and not just the sum of what your team delivers: your direct contributions will enable the success of your team.
