We will count on you to:

  • Provide thought leadership around how technology can be deployed in new and innovative ways to provide a source of competitive advantage to Marsh

  • Ensure high levels of automation and quality in delivery - drive the adoption of a DevOps culture and shift-left mindset amongst the teams
  • Work with other technology groups and stakeholders across to ensure alignment with company wide tooling, standards and processes



What you need to have:

  • You're a natural leader - someone that other colleagues want to work with
  • You can simplify complexity. You can rapidly grasp complex technical and business problems; identify and design elegant and simple solutions; and communicate the problem and the solution succinctly and clearly to a range of audiences
  • Great communication and interpersonal skills, comfortable working in a distributed environment, with an ability to form great working relationships across teams, locations, and timezones.
  • Your strong influencing skills and the ability to educate, coach and guide teams and colleagues
