About the role
You will help build the development function around maintainable applications and dependable website delivery. The role connects architecture, testing, release readiness and team capacity so technical commitments reflect the work needed to deliver and support them.
What you will do
- Turn incoming software and website requirements into delivery priorities, identifying integrations, maintenance obligations and technical unknowns.
- Define code-review, testing and release criteria with clear ownership of architecture and quality decisions.
- Review capacity and skill gaps across development and QA, and explain hiring or sequencing needs before delivery commitments are made.
- Resolve technical tradeoffs with infrastructure, creative and project owners, keeping security, usability and ongoing support in view.
- Establish practical review and supervision arrangements as developers and OJT placements join the function.
What you should bring
- Software delivery leadership and the ability to review application architecture, CMS work, integrations and testing approaches.
- Experience balancing feature work with maintenance and explaining resource or technical tradeoffs to non-developers.
- Evidence of developing contributors through specific code or design feedback and clear ownership of decisions.
Examples of work in this role
- A technical roadmap linking delivery priorities, dependencies and maintenance work.
- A shared review and release standard supported by test evidence and useful handover documentation.
Working arrangements
- Keep decisions, progress, and blockers visible through agreed communication channels.
- Reporting lines, decision authority, working hours, equipment needs, and location eligibility will be discussed during recruitment.
- Compensation, employment terms, and any benefits will be agreed during recruitment.
What to include in your application
- Include your CV, availability, and a short explanation of why this work interests you.
- Describe a development function or substantial delivery programme you helped organise. Show how you improved a technical review, release or maintenance decision and explain your own authority.
- Remove confidential information from samples and share only work you have permission to disclose.
