Senior Software Development Manager

£85-95,000 plus great bonuses and benefits

Manchester (hybrid)

A software-driven business with a phenomenal tech stack, immense scale, and complexity, offering some really interesting technical challenges to our engineers.

The interesting bits

As a manager of technical managers, you will lead, not just manage; you will mentor, coach, and inspire your colleagues to be the best they can be. You will create an environment that fosters great communication, support, and a healthy work-life balance for colleagues.

There is a lot of training and development provided to all, and an important part of this role is to guide your teams along their individual learning paths.

Since there is a lot of hiring to do, you'll need to enjoy recruiting, onboarding, coaching, and welcoming new people with fresh ideas and perspectives.

The skills we seek

We are looking for someone experienced in managing software developers, team leads, and development managers. Bring your learnings, battle scars, and ideas to enrich our environment.

You will need some technical know-how, having been an engineer yourself.

This is a large engineering team (1000+ colleagues), and your team will be 30-40 strong. There are well-established processes in place, with room for improvement of course.

The real opportunity here is to work in a world-class engineering function, learning from some of the best in their field.
