As a Lead Developer at Barclays, I expect you to advise and influence decision-making, contribute to policy development, and take responsibility for operational effectiveness. You will lead a team performing complex tasks, utilizing your professional knowledge to deliver work that impacts the entire business function. Setting objectives and coaching your team in pursuit of those objectives will be crucial, as will conducting performance appraisals aligned with those goals.
If you have leadership responsibilities, you will need to demonstrate a clear set of leadership behaviors to create an environment that allows colleagues to thrive. The four LEAD behaviors are: Listen and be authentic, Energize and inspire, Align across the enterprise, and Develop others. If you are a contributor, you will lead collaborative assignments and guide team members, identifying the inclusion of other areas of specialization to meet required outcomes.
Additionally, you will consult on complex issues, provide advice to support the resolution of escalated concerns, and develop new policies to mitigate risk in accordance with our control and governance agenda.
