A Practice Lead in Provectus is a person who is responsible for a certain Practice growth and people development in that practice.

What is the role of a Practice Leader?

• A Practice Leader is the first point of contact for their direct reports, and they liaise and relay information between senior leaders, HR, and engineers. The responsibility list looks like this:
• Recruit, induct and settle new team members in.
• Communicate objectives.
• Conduct performance reviews.
• Review and negotiate compensation.
• Conduct interviews, hire, and fire.
• Lead meetings and one-on-ones.
• Identify knowledge gaps and arrange training.
• Coach and mentor.
• Maintain and evaluate processes.
• Engage and coordinate with other managers across the organization.
• Communicate mission, vision, and values.

Requirements:

• The role of a Practice Leader is probably the most important because this is the first line of people management, and it provides things to be done. On the one hand, a PL is a part of the Practice, so this person must be at least senior-level in their specialty. On the other, a Practice Leader is a people manager, so the complete list of requirements looks like the following:
• 5+ years in Data Engineering. Our stack is cloud (preferable AWS), streaming (Apache Kafka,  AWS Kinesis, Apache Flink), and BigData (Apache Spark, Snowflake, AWS Redshift). So the related experience is a must-have.
• Experience in team/department leadership. 
• Experience in DataOps or ML/MLOps would be a significant plus.
• Relationship/team building. Leadership requires building and maintaining a solid and collaborative team of individuals working toward the same goal.
• Ability to teach and mentor. The role assumes providing employees with their career path and helping them achieve goals.
• Diplomatic skills. It means more than just "communication skills" and includes ethics, empathy, compassion, and the ability to resolve conflicts.
• Calmness. People are complicated, and it is required to be ready for any objectives or misunderstandings.
