We're currently on the look out for a Development manager to come and lead our Web Platform team. In recent years the landscape of the web has changed dramatically and we are responding to that change. The need to support new devices presents a golden opportunity to re-evaluate our current offering and build a comprehensive state-of-the-art web platform to scale with our future ambitions. You could be the new instrumental leader of this new build team!
As the Development Manager you will work with engineers, architects and producers across our development teams to insure the smooth running of this large and complex area, and its clean integration with other key areas of the platform and business.
Whilst you will have come from a stong technical backgound our Development Managers also have a real delivery focus role. You will be expected to blend Product and Commercial acumen, along with your Technical and Project Management skills, to deliver a world-class and fun experience for our customers. People and Team Management are an integral part of this role. You will be expected to foster a collaborative Agile development environment, and focus on individual and collective development of your team.
You will also have the opportunity to have a wide impact internally and externally, and play around with exciting & emerging technologies and platforms (cross-platform Mobile development, Facebook, NoSQL databases, AWS, Games, and more!!).
