About The Position

In this role you will be a dedicated leader for the long-term health, strategy, and continuous evolution of a critical, core technology platform supporting a key customer vertical. You will partner with Engineering and Product to define the multi-year technical strategy and roadmap, ensuring platform evolution aligns with long-term business goals and providing technical oversight for foundational work. You will prioritize and program manage strategic, non-functional programs (e.g., technical debt, capacity planning, architecture scaling) and specific enterprise initiatives, ensuring system stability and future readiness. You will oversee the full lifecycle of platform features, from technical design to implementation, establishing predictable development and release processes, and ensuring high standards for quality and scalability. You will define clear ways of working, create frameworks for cross-team collaboration, establish content repositories, and articulate the platform's enterprise narrative and boundaries. You will serve as the primary communication leader, tailoring information to secure buy-in and consensus across engineering and business leadership. You will drive a mindset of operational excellence, challenging existing processes and implementing solutions that prioritize automation over manual efforts, while working comfortably with ambiguity during capability building.
