Responsibilities

• Leads end-to-end delivery of complex application development initiatives spanning cross-functional teams and concurrent workstreams, providing strategic direction rather than hands-on execution.
• Owns dependency management across the broader Digital organization to ensure coherent, coordinated application deployment at scale.
• Defines and drives the overarching delivery strategy.
• Orchestrates internal and external teams toward committed outcomes.
• Engages business and technical stakeholders in structured trade-off conversations that balance effort, timelines, features, and constraints — ensuring decisions are timely and well-informed.
• Anticipates and eliminates delivery blockers before they become critical.
• Handles escalations with precision.
• Maintains forward momentum in ambiguous or high-pressure environments.
• Establishes and publishes clear delivery metrics spanning Design Reviews, Code Reviews, CI/CD adoption, and Design Pattern adoption to provide consistent, real-time transparency into delivery health across all teams.
• Sustains expert-level command of application development methodologies, standards, and best practices.
• Maintains a deep, authoritative understanding of the business domain, systems, and products in scope — encompassing accountabilities, boundaries, limitations, and scale factors — to interrogate architectural decisions and champion sound long-term technology choices.
• Guides teams in building systems that are disciplined in resource consumption, with deliberate attention to hardware, runtime performance, load tolerance, and memory efficiency.
• Serves as the primary engineering liaison to TPMs and Engineering Managers, providing early and accurate visibility into schedule risk.
• Exercises influence well beyond the immediate team perimeter to drive continuous improvement and technology adoption across the organization.
• Navigates stakeholder tension with confidence — surfacing discordant perspectives, facilitating structured dialogue, and reaching durable resolutions.
• Generates clarity and momentum even where business or technical strategy remains fluid; product definition and technical planning fall outside its remit.
• Applies rigorous risk assessment across all intake and delivery decisions, with explicit regard for the firm's reputation and the protection of Citigroup, its clients, and its assets.
• Governs all aspects of personal conduct and business practice with sound ethical judgment without exception.
• Manages and escalates control issues with full transparency — ensuring they remain visible, tracked, and resolved.
