Our area needs a new Development Chapter Lead to entrust with the beautiful and complex task of helping and guiding developers in building, maintain and scaling our services.

The Development Chapter Lead

Leaders in this role can enable their chapter to deliver their best quality work and evolve the technical knowledge and prestige of the chapter. The chapter lead is an independent manager, able to manage team members with varying degrees of seniority, diverse skill sets stemming from the chapter’s orientation and working on many squads/services. He or she communicates expectations clearly to the team members, solicits and delivers feedback frequently and is a role model for the chapter.

As a Chapter Lead, you will split your time betweenindividual contributoractivities andmanagement / people leading activities(hybrid role):

From an individual contributor point of view,the chapter lead is also an engineering lead and acts as such with conviction towards the fulfilment of the technical roadmap, be it local or global. You give professional judgement on crafting the timeline, scope and risk profile.As a Chapter Lead you are a senior engineer and you are seen by colleagues as a go-to person. Along with the IT Area Lead and your fellow Chapter Leads you set the standards for software development in your area of expertise. You have not only a strong drive to constantly keep your own expertise up to speed, but also want to make an active contribution to the development of the people in your chapter and your area.

From a managerial / people leader point of view, you will:

• Grow the team and perform recruitment interviews (technical and/or HR related);
• Define objectives and conduct yearly performance evaluations;
• Recognize team and individual members’ efforts and successes;
• Provide continuous feedback for team members (regular 1:1s);

• Help the team members grow in their career path (identify opportunities withing the project and learning needs);
• Motivate the team, be an inspiration for them and act as a role model;
• Remove impediments that obstruct the team in pursuing their goals;
• Think strategically in terms of overall chapter opportunities and contexts for growth (functional knowledge, technical knowledge, ownership for the delivery, autonomy in the wider Tribe context, etc);
• Collaborate closely with the other Chapter Leads and IT Area Leads to improve the maturity of the processes and practices and to facilitate the knowledge sharing across teams.
