The PM is responsible for the wellbeing, growth and productivity of each person in their Practice.

Practice members work in cross-functional Agile delivery teams with Product Owners, across a number of business portfolios.

We value flexibility and the team work on-site together occasionally; this location is designed for activity-based and collaborative working. Here, we work with the understanding that learning and development also need to play central roles in everything we deliver. We'll expect that you'll come along for the ride and take advantage of this opportunity to grow and learn.
