You're a former engineer who can see the bigger picture. While your career is full of individual wins as an engineer, it is now more fulfilling when your team is able to build, deliver, and impress.

This position will also require regular communication with senior management on status, risks, and strategy.

The ideal candidate is deeply technical, resourceful, customer-focused and team oriented, with clear communication skills and the ability to build strong relationships with key stakeholders. You can successfully influence partner teams and influence architecture decisions that impact multiple businesses.
