The Engineering Excellence Executive Manager drives the Engineering Excellence which defines and maintains the AXA Engineering Standards aligned with other transversal initiatives and current market practices, in collaboration with the global and local Software Engineering Communities, CIOs, CTO/Chief Architects community & OpCo's engineering representatives. In parallel of establishing these standards, the role actively promotes collaborative models and leads Inner / Open Source initiatives across the group and engages with both internal and external communities of practice (CoP). This role drives also the implementation (walk the talk) of the Engineering Excellence by leading technological orientation,
declination on technical recruitments and staffing software engineers on products and platforms.
