  • Contribute to investment discussions by framing technical direction in terms of sustainability and business impact.
  • Represent Product Technology in senior leadership discussions and relevant industry forums.

What We’re Looking For

  • Significant experience leading architectural direction across large-scale software portfolios.
  • Proven ability to guide multiple engineering teams through complex technical evolution.
  • Deep understanding of production technology ecosystems, pipelines and DCC environments.
  • Strong strategic thinking with the ability to balance long-term sustainability and immediate production realities.
  • Experience establishing engineering standards and architectural governance.
  • Excellent communication skills across engineering, production and executive stakeholders.

Nice to Have
