• Drive practical adoption of AI-enabled tools, workflows, and engineering practices that improve productivity, automation, software quality, content delivery, search experience, and site performance.
• Partner with product management, content management, digital marketing, technical documentation, IT, security, analytics, and business stakeholders to align web engineering priorities with company goals.

• Experience leading web engineering teams that support both CMS-based platforms and newer services, applications, APIs, or front-end experiences built outside the core CMS.
• Demonstrated ability to operate as a trusted technical leader who can make strategic recommendations, evaluate risks and tradeoffs, and guide the team without needing to personally own every implementation detail.
• Exceptional communication skills, including the ability to explain complex technical topics clearly, align stakeholders, simplify ambiguity, and communicate decisions with confidence and credibility.
• Strong organizational skills with attention to detail, follow-through, accountability, and the ability to manage complex cross-functional initiatives.
