Desired Candidate Profile
The ideal candidate is somebody who is capable of building a team from the ground up, knows what good software development looks like, is comfortable having a supervisor who is overseas and understands what best in class looks like in terms of plugging into existing global processes. The person who fills this role will have managed a workforce of 50+ product and technical resources and been part of a global operating footprint. The role is in Pune, India and reports to the EVP, Engineering, though other relationships (SVP, Product and EVP, Operations) will be important as well.
A typical week would be to participate in our global Product Leadership Team meeting, check-in with the team leads on progress against stated objectives, understanding the current candidate flow for open roles, facilitating process improvement suggestions for software development and reviewing and reporting against critical metrics that support the companys MBOs. There will be coordination needed for global meetings around the strategy of the products on which the site is working and interacting with local & remote product managers, services personnel and clients in regards to key issues and opportunities. Numerator is early in the process of building a connected global workforce so an opportunity to shape what good looks like in terms of norms and tools for agile development with a dedicated center of excellence. Recruiting & mentoring will be a constantly top of mind as we want to find and maintain a world class engineering team. A candidate should be able to navigate a JIRA board with developers and feel comfortable being asked to weigh in on senior level architecture opinions. The role does not own this on a day to day but credibility with line staff as having done it before is critical to Numerator culture.
The role will provide the opportunity to build a team and culture from the ground up and establish a cross-functional organization that demonstrates best-in-class capabilities to the rest of the organization.
