• Help shape and introduce growth frameworks for technical roles

• A background in tech - you may have been a developer or worked closely in the delivery space
• Strong coaching, mentoring, and performance management skills
• Able to work through ambiguity and bring clarity where structure is evolving
• Experience in hybrid environments; exposure to Agile and Waterfall methods
• Comfortable navigating HR processes and people systems
