• Work with other areas of the business to ensure BCE needs are represented in future strategic developments e.g. Business wide use of loggers, changes to cloud services, data ingestion mechanism, cloud platform choices etc.
• Serves as a coach and advisor to squads, remaining close enough to stay connected to product development and the application of their Chapter, while maintaining distance to allow them to problem-solve on their own
• Responsible for facilitating performance management for a number of chapter members, defining and implementing effective development plans and holding continuous performance discussions throughout the year

WHAT YOU’LL NEED

• Previous experience leading projects/teams in data engineering or digital data platform
• Previous experience and knowledge of applicable programming languages, scripts and databases
