Your responsibilities will include directly managing one group of 6 individuals and providing leadership to the managers of the other two groups. Examples of systems your future teams are responsible for are our CRM system based on Salesforce, various financial tools responsible for handling vital parts of Axis revenue streams and tools that help our support engineers with handling customer requests.

* Ensure the technology roadmap aligns with overall business objectives.
* Provide exceptional leadership to your team.
* Create a culture of innovation and customer-focused solution development.
* Ensure system reliability, security, and compliance while supporting company growth.

Who are we looking for?
As an experienced and grounded leader with a proven track record in software development and team building, you naturally align with our core values: Always Open, Think Big, and Act as One. You bring strong personal drive, excel at cross-organizational collaboration, and have a talent for building alignment and delivering results.

Your background ideally includes:

* A master's or bachelor's degree in a relevant field.
* 10+ years of experience leading software development teams.
* Solid understanding of sales operations within large global organizations.
* Proven ability to coach and develop team members.
