We are building a Centre of Excellence within our Mobility team which will provide an interface between our team and other product delivery units. We want someone with experience as a Tech Lead, a mobile applications expert who can provide guidance and governance to other areas looking at the development of large scale internal mobile applications.

You are a skilled, experienced mobile (iOS & Android) Technical Lead with a background in shaping and driving technical delivery across multiple functions.

You will use your expert tech knowledge to lead, deliver and influence the direction of key internal and external projects. A persuasive and intelligent communicator, you know how to reach, convince, and deliver through, your stakeholders.
