Why this role
You will act as Community of Practice Lead in the CoE Operational Excellence of the Design and Value Acceleration (DVA) Chapter. You will lead a community of 20+ integrators, publishers and front-end developers, and shape how we build and how we grow, with AI as part of our daily workflows. You get a real mandate, direct visibility with the DVA Chapter leadership, and the chance to define the standards of a discipline that is changing fast. Your influence comes from credibility and community.
Your mission: five pillars
1. Community management: Build and guide a community people want to learn
- Lead a community of 20+ tech profiles, such as Integrators, front-end developers, and publishers
- Run the guild: demos, tech talks, peer support, mentoring and onboarding of newcomers.
- Own the guild roadmap, aligned with Chapter strategy and Tribes needs. Make trade-offs explicit.
- Make the guild the place where AI practices, prompts and lessons learned are shared.
2. Skills framework: Make skills explicit, progressive and actionable
- Maintain and continuously improve the skills framework: standards, taxonomy, levels and expectations per level.
- Identify skills gaps through self-assessment and peer calibration, and prioritise against Chapter and business needs.
- Design the yearly upskilling plan: hands-on sessions, peer learning, case studies, toolkits, including an AI learning track.
3. Standards, quality & best practices: Define them, make them work, make them spread
- Define and evolve tech standards, templates and playbooks, with a single source of truth.
- Set quality criteria per phase (DoR/DoD, reviews, checkpoints), including rules for reviewing and validating outcomes.
- Capture what works in the teams and turn it into reusable patterns. Promote it across chapters and tribes.
4. Future of roles: Turn AI into practical, safe, everyday gains
- Identify high-value AI use cases across integration, front-end development and publishing.
- Pilot them with the teams, measure the impact, then scale what works.
- Define new standards and guardrails: approved tools, prompt and workflow libraries, documentation, and rules.
5. Strategy & exploration: Look ahead
- Monitor trends (tooling, regulation, practice evolution), assess their relevance and shape the future way of working within our Chapters and for Tribes.
- Run experiments, pilot before scaling, and stop what no longer creates value.
What success looks like
- The Guild is active, engaged, and trusted as a reference community.
- The publishers, integrators and front-end dev’s have clear skill expectations, understand how to grow, and see tangible learning opportunities.
- Shared standards & best practices are used and reused, not just documented, and lead to more consistent and higher‑quality outcomes.
- The discipline continuously adapts to new needs, tools, and contexts without losing coherence.
- The Guild positively contributes to business impact, deliveries quality, and guild members’ pride.
