- Performance Management: Our teams are committed to operational efficiency and innovation. You will set clear goals and KPIs, monitor progress using data-driven metrics, provide constructive feedback, and recognize exceptional performance.

You will thrive in a collaborative, team-based environment and work closely with Product Owner and colleagues across different teams.
