This role will suit you if you

- have an engineering background (worked as an engineer, your husband/wife is an engineer, read/code a lot - anything will fit, just be on top of what we are doing).

- 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.
- like to work in an open and diverse community of IT professionals.

You will be responsible for

- the project delivery of the entire solution team
- managing international projects, focusing on the APAC region.
- 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.
- managing the collaboration internally, so your team will be happy to work with you on the next project as well.
- 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.
