    • Conduct root cause analysis of defects and provide recommendations for process improvements. 

Leadership

    • To ensure that service delivery is achieved, effectively lead people management initiatives for the team through honest and constructive performance and development conversations, and regular team meetings that engage the team and provide the context they need to succeed.
    • Role model and ensure your team's work and behaviours are consistently aligned to our organisational goals and principles, through ensuring that direct reports deliver great outcomes through having individual goals and the development, support and opportunity to achieve these.'
