VP, Technology & Product Platform

About the role

You build and run the platform the business grows on. Software and engineering, the commerce platform, cloud, IT, and security are yours, and you turn the roadmap into shipped product. You run two sub-orgs, Engineering and Infrastructure and Security, and you own the build capacity that Digital Experience and Product commission against. You own the platform capability; the outcomes it moves are owned in Commercial, and the seam between build and outcome is one you manage rather than argue. You own software and engineering, the commerce platform, cloud, IT, and security. Two sub-orgs: Engineering, under the Lead Full Stack Engineer, and Infrastructure and Security, under the Senior Manager. Platform uptime, release velocity, platform cost, and security posture. The build capacity that Digital Experience and Product commission against, and the seam where a brief becomes shipped product. The engineering growth path toward a manager layer, QA and automation, and DevOps as the org scales.
