About the role
You will keep the development queue workable and make incomplete handoffs visible. A task is ready for the next stage when its brief, code, checks and remaining questions are clear to the person reviewing it.
What you will do
- Check task readiness and distribute implementation, review and QA work according to skills and current capacity.
- Review progress against acceptance criteria and identify missing tests, unresolved feedback or blocked dependencies.
- Coordinate developers and testers on reproducible defects, retesting and the evidence needed before release.
- Escalate architecture, access or schedule decisions to the responsible owner rather than letting them stall in a task queue.
- Keep the department head and project owners informed of workload, recurring defects and support needs.
What you should bring
- Practical development or QA delivery experience and ability to assess code-review and test evidence.
- Experience coordinating contributors, giving actionable feedback and recognising when a technical decision needs wider review.
- Clear task and defect records and sound judgement about workload and release readiness.
Examples of work in this role
- A current development and review queue with owners, blockers and next actions.
- A release-readiness summary showing completed checks, unresolved issues and decisions needed.
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 queue or release you supervised. Explain how you handled a blocked review, recurring defect or incomplete handover.
- Remove confidential information from samples and share only work you have permission to disclose.
