• Manage resourcing across squads to optimise utilisation and delivery outcomes
• Ensure service desk tickets and urgent issues are prioritised appropriately and escalated when required
• Maintain Toucanberry-wide documentation and processes, ensuring they are current, accessible, and client-ready
• Facilitate knowledge sharing and continuous improvement through internal syncs, retrospectives, and learning forums
• Provide oversight and guidance to Product Owners and Tech Leads, ensuring delivery remains aligned to business and technical objectives
• Industry knowledge in actuarial, investments, life insurance, or reinsurance (highly desirable)
• Background in a technical product role e.g. Technical Product Manager or Software Engineer, with proven ability to design and deliver roadmaps
• Hands‑on product development experience with data platforms
• Strong track record leading multi-squad delivery in consultancy or enterprise settings
