You help drive clarity and define problems proactively. You implement processes that generally impact a set of teams within the same area. You are collaborating with the key leaders in the teams that directly interact with your immediate team, and you are familiar with their functional areas.
  • Decision Making: When you encounter problems, you are able to drive their resolution often, and when you cannot, you know who and how best to engage. When confronted with discordant views, you foster constructive dialogue and seek resolutions in a professional manner.
  • Problem Definition & Complexity: You work on clearly- defined business problems without predefined technical solutions. When you encounter problems, you can drive their resolution often, and when you cannot, you know who and how best to engage.

  • Influence: You are a subject matter expert in your team domains. Your sphere of influence has grown outside of your direct team, and you have built a strong cross-functional peer set. You influence your team through data to guide roadmap priorities for features, software design changes and operational excellence improvements. You have deep technical and business understanding of your team's services.
  • Communication: You independently and effectively manage meetings across multiple business and technical teams, ensuring the right participants are in the room for productive discussions, and sending summary notes with action items afterwards.
