  • Manage and evolve the roadmap to ensure a healthy balance between BAU-type maintenance work to uphold stable operations and the initiation of new, innovative projects, driving forward organisational goals and prioritising tasks, aligning resources, and ensuring timely delivery while fostering a culture of continuous improvement and operational excellence
  • Act as a liaison between the squads and the BA Digital leadership team, providing regular updates on squad progress, challenges & opportunities and presenting reports on key performance indicators, technical achievements and learnings of the squad
  • Serve as a pivotal communicator between technical teams and business stakeholders, translating complex technical concepts, findings, and analyses into clear, understandable, and actionable insights for non-technical audiences, ensuring seamless collaboration and informed decision-making
  • Exhibit strong leadership skills by fostering a positive, collaborative, and inclusive team environment, mentoring and developing staff, specifically PTAMs to achieve their full potential by providing coaching and mentorship in areas of technical expertise to share best practices and improve processes, workflows and technical practices as well as leadership practices and people development strategies
  • Demonstrate exceptional interpersonal and communication skills, ensuring clear and effective communication across all levels of the organisation, facilitating cross-functional collaboration, and building strong relationships with both internal teams and external stakeholders
  • Showcase a high degree of emotional intelligence, adapting to different personalities and situations, understanding and valuing diverse perspectives, and promoting a culture of respect and understanding within the team and the broader organisation
