IBM

Technical Leader

Introduction
At IBM, work is more than a job - it's a calling: To build. To design. To code. To consult. To think along with clients and sell. To make markets. To invent. To collaborate. Not just to do something better, but to attempt things you've never thought possible. Are you ready to lead in this new era of technology and solve some of the world's most challenging problems? If so, lets talk.

Your Role and Responsibilities

The Technical Lead (TL) role is the key to the Service Delivery Organization within the CLS Programme. It is both reactive and proactive. It is also a daily customer facing position in a highly demanding support organization. Its prime role is communication, having the ability to articulate complex problems to the customer under pressure situations; to think clearly and logically to resolve problems when they occur. Tech Leads need to be self-motivated, forward thinking, and able to 'think outside of the box'. They need to be able to take a team along with their ideas. The role covers a number of aspects both technical and managerial encompassing. A Technical Lead will rotate between Operational and Project Technical Lead roles.
