This will be a dynamic role with an expectation to hire, manage people, and step-change the velocity of delivery through adoption of AI and continuous improvement of the delivery model.

- Review team structure and recommend and execute on changes/improvements as required.

- Unblock tech leads with strong collaboration with Product Management and Design.

- Escalate and resolve interdependencies across platforms (web, mobile, core platform).

- Co-manage the technology budget, ensuring efficient and cost-effective use of resources.

- Own third-party vendor relationships.

- Own technology due diligence, security audits, integration planning and roadmap integration, team integration and risk management.
