Develop insights into issues slowing down the team and use it to develop processes that enable the team to deliver its goals.
Mentor and guide the careers of the engineers through coaching and finding opportunities that support their technical skillset and goals.
Make sound decisions around resourcing, and make the rationale clear to partners and team members.
Partner with Revenue leadership on strategic planning and continuously improve the Engineering organization while upholding our workplace philosophy.
