• Work with Product Owners to define tech roadmaps and translate them into actionable user stories/requirements
• Lead vendor selection and manage delivery of external technology services
• Champion user needs and build technical capability within your teams

What you’ll bring

• Demonstrable experience delivering technology products and integration services using both agile and waterfall methods
• Proven track record leading large, multi-disciplinary teams with challenging stakeholder landscapes
• Strong background in portfolio/multi-team delivery environments
• Experience working with business users to embed user needs throughout development
