  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including marketing and comms, digital and technology solutions, finance, legal and commercial and information security to ensure XR projects meet business goals and user requirements.
  • Stay abreast of the latest XR technologies and industry trends, incorporating best practices and innovations into our projects.
  • Manage budgets, timelines and resources ensuring projects are delivered on time and within scope.
  • Cultivate relationships with technology partners, vendors, and external stakeholders to enhance our capabilities and market position.
  • Requirements:

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in computer science, Digital Media or related field (Equivalent practical experience will be accepted).
  • Minimum of 5 years of experience in XR development, with at least 2 years in a leadership role.
