Working in partnership with existing Team Leads and managers, you will help our growth and expansion of the team to be successful by ensuring that software is delivered smoothly by our team, developers are supported, and our stakeholders are cared for.
Our teams work to build tools and data pipelines that safely, consistently and efficiently transform and enrich our data.

- Provide a clear view into IT team progress - participate in demonstrating our outputs and contributing status information based on completion of a clear backlog of tasks
- Collaborate with managers and IT colleagues across the department - as we work together to share and improve our approach and practices
- And optionally (if you have a software development background) contribute to team technical work
What We’re Looking For:
- 3 years experience working with software development teams (as an individual contributor or team lead), with demonstrated experience helping others to be successful
- Experience in Agile delivery methodologies
- Excellent communication skills and experience facilitating discussions with technical and non technical colleagues
