Job roles
Roles at Deeson.
This page describes the job roles that we have at Deeson.
First up, a definition before reading this page:
Job roles set expectations for the project, client and company, and ensure someone is covering all the different aspects of what we do. Job roles are defined in terms of 'impacts' in a job scorecard – things that a team member does which make a difference to the business.
In some cases, individuals will perform more than one of the roles on a project. As an individual's career progresses, they are likely to take on more roles. This allows individuals to grow and develop professionally by moving into new areas and working on new skills.
Shared accountabilities.
Here are the specific accountabilities we all share, regardless of our job title and role on any specific project:
Your own capacity.
Your own capability.
Supporting your colleagues.
Following company processes.
