Team leadership and capability building - Lead, mentor, and grow the deployed Zensar engineering team, embedding best practices in code quality, testing, and CI/CD, and building a strong team.
Represent engineering in governance and planning - Contribute to customer's planning, budgeting, and leadership and executive reporting cycles; surface and resolve technical debt, bottlenecks, and cross-team dependencies early.
Bring Zensar's advanced engineering practice to the customer's landscape - Act as the conduit for Zensar's broader engineering innovation, best practices, and accelerators, and participate in the customer's leadership forums as Zensar's senior technical voice.
