• enjoy working with a well-defined solution area and becoming an expert in delivering services with a stable team.
• are comfortable mentoring less senior colleagues to follow your path.

• working together with the sales team to ensure a smooth transition from sales to execution.
• working with your business partner on continuously improving your team’s solutions to align execution with business needs.
• working with your tech partner to improve the overall profitability of your team through creating assets and improving delivery efficiency for future projects.
• planning the project tasks and schedules with one of our architects.
• being the main point of contact for our customers.
• helping our Engineering team to keep the project on track.
• making our customers happy with predictable deliveries and proper communication.
• sharing mistakes and good practices with your colleagues so they can learn from them.
• managing the collaboration externally, so subsequent projects keep coming in.

• ensuring your team’s utilization, making sure all members contribute to active projects or meaningful backlog work

Requirements

We’re looking for you if you

• speak English fluently.
