  • Drive cloud, automation, and developer enablement initiatives
  • Join a global organisation with strong growth opportunities

You will get to build and lead teh roadmap and initiatives of the whole function that includes 3 separate teams across the entire organisation.

  • Take ownership of platforms that need transformation, modernisation, and fresh direction
  • High visibility role with direct impact on engineering productivity and business delivery
  • Significant autonomy to define priorities, introduce improvements, and drive change
  • Clear progression into senior leadership

What You Bring

  • 10+ years' experience in DevOps, Platform Engineering, or Cloud Infrastructure
  • Strong AWS, Kubernetes (EKS), Docker, and Terraform expertise
  • Experience with CI/CD tools such as GitHub Actions and Argo CD
