Ops lead and tech lead roles are team lead roles responsible for the entire team. Historically this was a single persons role, but has been split into two roles to reduce the work load placed on a particular person.

Ops Lead

Ops lead is responsible for communication between the team and the university. This done through the team email. This is the most important task.

Ops lead is responsible for communicating with competition officials and all associated tasks with the competition such as sign up and submitting PDR and SAR packages - this does not include creating such packages as this is a team wide task.

Ops lead has access to the team google account, this is used for uploading SAR videos to YouTube and managing the team google drive.

Ops lead should assist the business team in team funding with the university such as WEEF sponsorship. This also includes signing off on any finance related items as required by the business team.

Ops lead should help with the business team in public representation such as social media posts and maintaining the team website. This is lower priority and these tasks can be offloaded to another team member.
