We help teams deliver faster and more efficiently”

You will be part of a team that has a 'user first' approach and consequently work effectively within a Platform organisation that has a high degree of user obsession, with a discovery led approach for building better products.

• Stakeholder management: This job is an individual contributor role. You will need to be able to influence your teammates, as well as colleagues, stakeholders, customers, and key executives, through your use of data and thought process. A technical background is not a requirement, but you will spend most of your day speaking with Software Engineers, so a level of technical competence will be an advantage.

• Communication: proactively drive your communication flow, updates, etc about the status of the development and initiatives to partners and main stakeholders, offering transparency; enthusiastically communicate on your achievements and the product vision. Be able to finetune the content of your comms to audiences with various degrees of technical skill, or of seniority.
