• Establish and promote best practices, frameworks, and standards that elevate the quality of delivery across teams.
• Mentor senior practitioners and serve as a go-to resource for complex, ambiguous challenges.

People Leadership

• Foster a culture of psychological safety, continuous learning, and ownership within the COE.
• Conduct regular performance conversations, provide structured coaching, and create clear growth pathways for team members.

• Define KPIs and OKRs for the COE and ensure consistent reporting to senior stakeholders.
• Identify and eliminate delivery bottlenecks, institutionalizing processes that scale effectively.
• Collaborate with business units, clients, and cross-functional leaders to ensure COE outcomes are impactful and measurable.
