Define the principles, standards, and patterns for how Enterprise Platforms and infrastructure are consumed, across our different businesses.

Embed in Platform services the key controls and guardrails that deliver resiliency, scalability, security, and compliance striking the balance between control and empowerment so our business-facing engineering teams can move at pace, safely.

Provide thought leadership, learning pathways, and consultancy to product teams, to guide appropriate, optimal and advanced use of Platform technologies and services.

Lead the Platform engineering teams and service owners to design and deliver high-quality, cost effective, services to the organisation, ensuring best-in-class systems, processes, operating procedures and 3rd party vendor contracts and performance.

Designing and delivering shared service transformation, in a challenging technical landscape.

Managing multiple platform teams supporting modern software development in a large global organisation.

Working with leaders and engineers to create alignment across an organisation operating multiple businesses ranging from financially regulated through retail, B2C and B2B.

A solid grasp of best-practice and cutting-edge approaches to delivering Cloud-based digital infrastructure, enterprise and developer-centric platforms, and transitioning legacy architectures and delivery models.

Deep understanding of market trends in infrastructure and leading technology platform ecosystems.

Proven track record of at least 15 years owning and defining technology strategy, architecture, service design, investment cases, and roadmaps.
