Your leadership will be instrumental in automating business processes, strategy and delivering scalable platform solutions that enhance both customer experience and operational efficiency, while also defining new products for our clients.


As the Head of Platform Engineering Manager, you will collaborate with business sponsors and operational leaders to gather requirements and ensure the delivery of platform solutions that drive customer engagement and streamline workflows.

Your role will also include removing organizational impediments and driving the flow of value through the team.


Key qualifications for this role include proven leadership experience in platform engineering, particularly with customer engagement technologies and enterprise-level platforms like ServiceNow and low-code workflow automation tools. You should also have a deep understanding of digital platform architecture, microservices, API integrations, cloud-based platforms (AWS, Azure), and modern development tools. We are looking for an experienced leader with strong problem-solving and communication skills are essential, with the ability to present complex ideas to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.


Preferred qualifications include experience with customer engagement platforms such as AI chatbots, call center solutions, eCommerce systems, and a familiarity with ITSM frameworks and digital security best practices.


This is an excellent opportunity to lead an innovative team and drive the strategic growth of our platform engineering capabilities. If you are passionate about delivering impactful, scalable, and secure digital platforms, we encourage you to apply.
