- Develop a solid understanding of the Production business processes, identify key performance drivers, success metrics, and the strategic roadmap (short term and long term) for the business and its enabling technologies.

- Translate business needs into IT requirements and champion change to a wide array of Digital contributors (Architecture, Security, Infrastructure, Governance, Applications)
About you?
- A willingness and curiosity to learn new technology, solutions and products.
- Pragmatic, solutions based mindset. Experience of prioritising tasks based on information rather than how loud someone is being

- Experience translating complex technical concepts into actionable business value
