Accountable for predictable delivery and high quality outcomes of your team and will measure success for your team through the frequent delivery of high quality code to production and fast pace of delivery
Work with Product counterparts to fully understand and to deliver the roadmap and to champion the appropriate prioritization of technical improvement/debt items.
Using your technical background, you will understand the codebase & services your team work on and how they fit into the wider Yell picture. You will challenge decisions when they don’t seem right and facilitate technical decisions your team has to make, to ensure that well-designed, high-quality solutions are built first time.
Line management of cross-functional technical team members.
Build trust and a strong relationship with your team so that honest feedback is given & received in the right manner.
Help to facilitate the communication of Yell’s strategic vision to our engineers.
Work with peers across the wider Technology department to foresee & manage dependencies across teams.
