Planning and Developing a High-Performing Engineering Team

• Forecasting and allocating engineering resources, while leading hiring and assignments across development and execution
• Evaluating vendor performance and monitoring industry trends to maintain top-tier technical partnerships

Who We’re Looking For:

• A strategic and credible people leader who empowers others through clarity, care, and accountability—building resilient, high-performing teams that thrive in dynamic, fast-paced project environments
• A proactive, strategic, analytical and adaptable leader who can tailor systems to meet evolving business needs.
• A driven, results-oriented individual who naturally takes responsibility for setting the standard and achieving results.
