- Provide leadership to the Online booking engine platform team; clearly communicating your vision, set sprint goals, and remove squad impediments.
- Uplift the Online booking engine platform; enable the feature teams to build and deliver to production with ease through managing upgrades, improving pipelines and managing the underlying infrastructure.
- Develop an approach and strategy to migrate off the current booking engine platform to the new booking engine platform provided by our vendor.

- Familiarity with e-commerce principles, user journeys, and conversion optimisation strategies
- Proficiency in Agile methodologies, such as Scrum or Kanban, with experience leading Agile teams and driving iterative development
- Proven ability to lead and inspire cross-functional teams, fostering collaboration and driving results
- Excellent communication skills to effectively interact with stakeholders, engineers, designers, and other teams.
- Strong analytical skills to interpret data, metrics, and user feedback and a problem-solving mindset, to address technical challenges and risks
