The role is first-and-foremost a leadership position, but you should be comfortable getting ‘hands on’ from time-to-time. You’ll also be comfortable mentoring, offering technical guidance, and just being an all-round natural leader.
• We’re big on cloud, and you’ll be spearheading efforts to deprecate legacy systems and migrate these into Azure.
