Purpose of the Role

We are delighted to be offering a fantastic opportunity for a talented Web Development Manager to join our friendly and growing team.

You will collaborate with cross-functional teams, including Product Management and IT Operations, to align development efforts with business objectives.

What you will do

• Provide leadership to the web development team, ensuring the continued successful delivery of change requests through the SDLC
• Collaborate with the Head of Core Systems to define and execute change strategy and roadmap, ensuring these are in line with the company?s business goals.
• Oversee the complete software (i.e., change) development life cycle for the solutions, from requirements gathering and analysis, through design, development, testing, and deployment.
