Tribe Leader of IT Platforms & Engineering Enablement

Main Purpose

IT Platforms & Engineering Enablement Tribe provides shared technology platforms and services that enable secure, scalable, and efficient digital delivery across the organization. The tribe brings together three key product areas: Integration (including BPM, RPA, and Process Orchestration), Enterprise Content & Output Management, and Development & Platform Engineering.

The Tribe serves customer Tribes, product and application teams, and key technology partners across architecture, engineering and digital transformation. Through shared integration, process automation, content, communication and application delivery platforms, it enables secure and reliable operations, reduces manual effort and complexity, and increases the autonomy of product teams through standardised and self-service capabilities.

The tribe defines technology standards, governance frameworks, and self-service capabilities for integration, document and communication services, as well as the entire application development, deployment, and operations lifecycle. Its mission is to reduce technology complexity, promote standardization, automation, and reusability, and enable product teams to deliver business value faster and more reliably.

The Tribe Leader of IT Platforms & Engineering Enablement is a senior technology leader accountable for the end-to-end technology landscape of a Tribe. The role ensures that the Tribe’s products and services are built on scalable, secure, and sustainable technology solutions that enable business strategy and customer outcomes. The Tribe Leader forms the leadership of the Tribe, ensuring strong alignment between business priorities and technology capabilities. The Tribe Leader owns the Tribe’s technical architecture, engineering standards, and technology delivery performance while maintaining high levels of operational stability and quality.

In the absence of a dedicated Tribe Leader, the Tribe Leader also provides overall Tribe leadership, ensuring alignment between technology strategy, customer value, business priorities, investment decisions, and long-term Tribe outcomes.
