The team works in an agile way, so it can respond quickly when business priorities or market needs change. You’ll be expected to deliver on time, on budget and to specification, and to back your recommendations with test data and sound risk assessment.

You’ll work closely with stakeholders inside and outside the business. You’ll also research emerging technologies and assess where they could fit into future products, which gives you plenty of scope to build your skills as the company grows.
