You have a holistic view of the unit's delivery, including:

• employee utilization
• project economics
• competence and resource allocation

You are responsible for ensuring that the unit has the right conditions to drive projects both in-house and as a client. In addition to the operational management role, you are part of the Development Department's management group, where you, together with other managers, take responsibility for the business's goals and long-term development. You report to the Department Manager.
