• →Attract top talent, develop career paths, and build team capabilities to match evolving client needs.
• →Champion responsible and performant AI development practices, including robust CI/CD pipelines that support increased development velocity.
• →Operate as the business leader of the web development discipline with a focus on driving profitability, optimizing utilization, and setting teams up for success with thoughtful project-level resourcing. 

Drive Technology Strategy

• →Define and execute the web development strategy, including the architectural roadmap for platforms, integrations, and emerging technologies.
• →Lead with an AI-native approach — leveraging AI tools and automation throughout the development lifecycle, from ideation to QA to delivery. Continuously assess and redefine how AI tools can enhance our practice. 
• →Evaluate and recommend CMS and no-code/low-code platforms appropriate to each project's context. Architect scalable, secure, cloud-first solutions with strong command of AWS, Azure, or GCP environments and other CMS platform-specific cloud environments.
• →Stay ahead of the curve on emerging frameworks, personalization technologies, accessibility standards, and omnichannel integration patterns.

Deliver for Clients

• →Serve as the senior technical lead in client-facing engagements. You'll take complex architectural decisions, platform tradeoffs, and technical constraints and make them land clearly for non-technical stakeholders: clients, brand teams, and marketing lead. You'll consult with client technology teams, present recommendations with confidence, address concerns before they become blockers, and remain a trusted POC from kickoff through launch. You’ll build relationships and affinity with clients and help drive growth.

• →Oversee multiple concurrent enterprise-scale projects, ensuring on-time, on-budget delivery without sacrificing quality.
• →Translate complex business and marketing requirements into practical, scalable technical solutions.

Set the Standard

• →Establish and enforce coding standards, security protocols, and compliance practices across all web platforms.
• →Ensure adherence to data privacy regulations (GDPR, HIPAA, CCPA, etc.) and accessibility standards (WCAG) — experience in healthcare or other regulated industries is a plus.
• →Understand and support our healthcare clients in a healthcare specific regulatory environment.
• →Implement monitoring, analytics, and reporting frameworks to track platform performance and business impact.
• →Support internal digital initiatives alongside client work, improving the efficiency and effectiveness of how we operate.
