• Supervise and review detailed designs produced by other resources, partners, and third parties to ensure build and test deliver quality assurance.
• Provide technical leadership and assume overall design accountability within a project.

You will have no line management duties.

• A broad understanding of IT capabilities, methods, and technologies.
• In-depth experience in developing IT solutions.
• Passion for keeping up with IT trends.

Desirable skills or experience:

• Knowledge of SAP S/4HANA.
• Public Cloud technologies - Azure Cloud, including IaaS, PaaS, SaaS products like Azure App Services and Azure databases.

Our benefits

• Boots Retirement Savings Plan.
• Discretionary annual bonus.
