  • Ensure the team adopts consistent patterns for software development and communication.
  • Lead resourcing and hiring needs for the Surfacing team.
  • Be responsible for the implementation of Surfacing content investments including Content Management, Design Systems, Dynamic Surfacing, and Surfacing Selection & Orchestration.

  • Proven track record of driving technology strategies across multiple teams.
  • Familiarity with user facing product development (Web or Mobile).
  • Experience with machine learning and data-informed decision making.
  • Familiarity with e-commerce platforms and merchandising strategies.
