Job Responsibilities

You will be involved extensively and be responsible for the end-to-end software development lifecycle and support for all work transitioned from Group (which could be projects, quarterly change requests, L3 production fixes). This includes anchoring key engagements with various stakeholders, analysis and design to development, implementation, release management, testing and support for the domain area of Digital Banking.

With a primary role in delivery management, you will be responsible for the project technical delivery and quality assurance of the team’s delivery in conformance to the Bank-defined software delivery methodology and tools. You will partner closely with the group domain team to plan and manage transitioned deliverables.

• Support the Team - Build up the right capabilities and people, equip them with the skills, tools, and standard approaches to deliver functional excellence, and ensure that they are deployed to value-creation opportunities — sometimes in long-term roles supporting the business, but more often to the small, independent squads.
• Build Capabilities - Responsible for building a “capability” to support a value-creation line : hiring and developing talent; shepherding people along their career paths; evaluating and promoting people; and building standard tools, methods, and ways of working in collaboration with the Chapters and the Platform / Tribe Coaches. The Technical Delivery Manager (TDM) has also the responsibility to deploy our talented people to the appropriate squads, based on their expertise and demonstrated competence. In essence, the Tribe Lead is responsible for the “People” and the “How” in collaboration with the Chapters and the Platform / Tribe coaches for the software development work.
• Manage By Empowering - The Technical Delivery Manager (TDM) must manage external (vendors) and internal resources, must evaluate, promote, coach, and develop his or her people, but without traditional direct oversight. The TDM may not be involved in the day-to-day work of squads for “value creation standpoint” but has the responsibility to supervise the day-to-day (quality, velocity, productivity, resourcing, vendor management) in collaboration with team members and the Platform / Tribes / Squad business leads; he does not check on or approve the work of their team members, and he certainly does not micromanage or provide daily oversight. Instead, regular feedback from platform / tribe leaders, team members (Squad Leads), and other colleagues inform his evaluations. In fact, he / she should have enough time to tackle “real work” on business opportunities in liaison with the Platform and Tribe leaders.
