• Work with an empowered cross-functional team to ensure tooling and processes are optimised to maximise throughput and quality

• Build strong team culture and morale and ensure team health is monitored and managed
• Create an open and collaborative working environment, and facilitate conflict resolution

Key Skills & Experience Required:

• Minimum 4 years delivering digital products in an agile environment
