You'll partner closely with senior leadership to develop the roadmap, prioritize projects, and translate complex business requirements into practical technical solutions.

You'll also lead and develop a talented technical team, bringing structure, accountability, and mentorship while remaining willing to roll up your sleeves alongside them when needed.
