Role Profile:

Reporting in to the Software Engineering Manager, the successful candidate will be expected to:

* plan & govern how changes are implemented, working alongside Solution Architects and DevOps Engineers to ensure robust solutions.

* Task-manage software engineers and testers: who is doing what, liaising with the Product Owner and PM/Scrum-master to find the right balance between business priority and efficient delivery.

* Working with scrum-master/PM to present Product Owner and other stakeholders with estimated timescales for feature delivery.

* Working with Business Analyst and Product Owner to sub-divide the workflow into sensibly sized and independent stories for delivery.

* Liaising as necessary with internal and external teams during delivery process.
