Scaling leadership
summary
A two‑year playbook for a lone transversal role at Back Market that turns ambiguous cross‑team problems into delivered programs: breaks work into five leadership practices, uses disciplined writing and doc contextualisation, runs synchronous rituals plus thoughtful async communication, frames a cloud program (notably AWS to GCP migration) with simple metaphors, builds social capital and measurable delivery cadence, and scales impact until the company hires more TPMs and grows its staff community as the practical outcome.
