I have a rapidly growing client (International well-known brand) that now requires an IT Development Director/Head of Development.

I need candidates that have experience running/managing software development teams in an international level/enterprise organisation, working within a mature process framework eg Pace-Layered Integration Architecture with exposure to ITIL and project management.

This role requires you to have a background in software engineering although the day job will not require you to develop code you will need to be able to understand the mindset and challenges software engineers face and through value based leadership provide the best setup for the well-being of the staff.

You will also need to have excellent communication skills both written and verbal, a very important part of the role is to maintain an excellent relationship between IT and our business colleagues, managing expectations and relationships.

We have some of the best engineers in the world, staff turnover is tremendously low with only two leavers in five years due to the excellent culture in the team, exciting cutting-edge technology and interesting projects, the role will require you maintain this high standard.

It is fundamental to ensure the software engineering teams are working as efficiently as possible, you will be working with the developers to ensure you remove blockers; increase bandwidth; help with their personal development (both technical and soft skills) and ensure the software engineers and quality assurance engineers are building high quality products built to last, not cutting corners and not amassing technical debt.

The technology team utilise Agile, you will therefore have an excellent understanding of the benefits of Agile, including Kanban, also Lean principals and optimising software team interactions for flow so you can help business colleagues see the benefits and successfully execute them.

Please call me to discuss further or drop me your CV and I will get back to you.
