Manager / Technical Lead

Key Responsibilities

• Hands-On Solution Delivery
• Actively configure and customize the platform as a member of the delivery team.
• Build and implement complex solution components, integrations, extensions, automation, and other technical capabilities as required.
• Troubleshoot technical and performance issues and personally assist with their resolution.
• Participate directly in development, configuration, testing, deployment, and stabilization activities.
• Take ownership of technically challenging work rather than simply assigning it to others.
• Use Copilot and approved AI tools to accelerate development, configuration, testing, troubleshooting, and documentation while validating the quality of AI-assisted work.
• Technical Leadership
• Translate business requirements into practical solution designs and implementation approaches.
• Establish architecture, patterns, development standards, and engineering practices.
• Perform design and code reviews and ensure technical quality.
• Make pragmatic technical decisions that balance delivery timelines with scalability, performance, security, and maintainability.
• Lead through hands-on participation and demonstration, not just technical direction.
• Team Development
• Work side-by-side with team members to develop their technical capabilities.
• Coach team members through real configuration, customization, development, and troubleshooting scenarios.
• Upskill the team so that knowledge and capability are distributed rather than concentrated with the Technical Lead.
• Delegate appropriately while remaining willing and able to step in and execute.
• Encourage effective use of Copilot and AI-assisted engineering practices across the team.
• Create reusable patterns, examples, prompts, and accelerators that allow the team to become increasingly self-sufficient.
• Delivery Ownership
• Own technical delivery from design through implementation and stabilization.
• Partner with functional and project leadership on scope, estimates, dependencies, risks, and priorities.
• Identify technical blockers early and actively work to resolve them.
• Maintain accountability for technical quality and delivery commitments.
• Clearly communicate technical risks, tradeoffs, and recommendations to clients and delivery leadership.
• The Expectation: Player + Coach
• The Manager / Technical Lead is expected to be both:
• Player: Personally configure, customize, develop, troubleshoot, and deliver.
• Coach: Teach others how to do the work and increase the team's capability.
• Technical Leader: Set direction, standards, architecture, and quality expectations.
• Delivery Leader: Own outcomes, remove blockers, and ensure the solution gets delivered.
• AI Leader: Demonstrate how Copilot can improve day-to-day delivery and help the team incorporate those practices into how they work.
• The key principle is: Don't just tell the team how to build it. Build it with them, teach them while doing it, and leave the team stronger than you found it.
