- Reduce time-to-productivity for new hires (target: 30 days to 60% productivity)
- Extend enablement programs to SI partners and Developer Program customers to ensure consistent operational standards
- Tooling, Knowledge Management & AI:
- Own the standard Jira process: define the desired workflow, then configure the tool to match delivery needs. Drive 100% adoption
- Build and maintain a centralized platform knowledge repository organized by audience (engineer, PM, customer developer) with tiered content
- Own and maintain shared code libraries and design component libraries to promote reusability and consistency
- Drive adoption of AI tooling and workflows within the delivery organization; develop an AI-native delivery framework
- R&D Partnership & Release Enablement:
- Establish and manage a formal operating agreement with R&D covering platform documentation, dedicated SME access, and release readiness commitments
- Translate R&D documentation into delivery-focused training materials and maintain feedback loops on common implementation challenges

Our take
Health benefits are a top requirement for anyone seeking a new job in the US today, but classic one-size-fits-all plans are no longer regarded fit for service. League's platform - for payers, providers, consumer health businesses, and employees - connects all benefits in one HIPAA-compliant place, to enable all bodies involved with health benefits to provide better customer healthcare experiences.
League is already one of the bigger players in the employee wellness space, having capitalised on the recently accepted correlation between employee health and productivity to secure huge clients like Uber, Shopify and Unilever. The company has seen significant investment, which will support the scaling of its platform-as-a-service offering. With more than 63 million contracted users, it is securing its position as the leading digital infrastructure for an integrated health ecosystem.
