Key job responsibilities
Product
You will closely partner with your product manager to define and execute on the vision for your product. You will set and help your development team maintain line-of-sight to key product goals.

Projects
You will be responsible for developing a roadmap and delivery plan for your team as well as track progress against key goals. You will identify dependencies and risks and mitigate risks before they start to impact project goals and manage expectations when things don't go as planned.

Process
You, together with your team, own the team's development process. You should be comfortable running an agile development process and ensure it serves the team, rather than the team serving it.

People
You will own all facets of performance management and career development for your team. Helping team members achieve their career objectives through regular one-on-one engagements is required. You will mentor all members in order to maintain a well-rounded, world class organization. You will own and be accountable for the output and performance of your team.

Technical and operational excellence
You should ensure your team is technically excellent. That includes ensuring security remains your top priority, with operations second and features third. You should build for high-availability and utilize best-in-class native AWS technologies. You will mentor your team on design best practice, even though your engineers ultimately own the solution.

Recruiting and Hiring

Incident and Escalations Management
You will be the point of contact for enquiries regarding escalations and service incidents impacting our case management customers, for services you own or the broader case management space during your coverage period. The manager is expected to respond to critical issues regarding engagement and incident management on an as needed basis.
