Do you have what it takes?

• Preferably someone with a technical competency, not to code, but to spar, challenge and hold your own in technical discussions.

• A track record of taking initiative - you've seen something that needed doing and made it happen, without waiting to be asked

• A strategic lens on team growth - you think about motivation, skills, team performance, and culture as much as you think about code

• Curiosity about AI - you don't need to be an expert, but you're genuinely interested in how tools like GitHub Copilot (and Claude behind it) can change the way engineers work

• Comfort in agile environments - and the ability to guide teams without a playbook

• A team-first approach - you embrace diversity, build trust, and lead with humility

• Knowledge around Supply Chain from a digital context would be a bonus
